Gallery images aren't directly relevant

Not sure how the images currently in the Gallery tie in specifically to this biography. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:27, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cielquiparle: A valid point. They are the type that Lee and the Blue Angels fly. I am not opposed to their removal. Bruxton (talk) 22:48, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully the Navy will release more photos of her actually flying. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:13, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruxton Amazing photos now, thanks for finding them! Cielquiparle (talk) 19:46, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cielquiparle: I will try to see if there are any more PD images for Higgins. I also created a category on commons for Katie Higgins Cook. Bruxton (talk) 20:33, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cielquiparle: I added some Katie Higgins images that were free and created a commons category to the article. Bruxton (talk) 20:49, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. Have added to that page. Thanks! Cielquiparle (talk) 08:24, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Taking this opportunity to encourage folks to make at least a category of aerobatic pilots

This is awesome! But its sad that there is no way to explore from this article into the world, no list and no category. Not for female aerobatic pilots nor or aerobatic pilots in general currently active in the aerobatic teams of the world.

There are categories or aviators or female aviators, fighter pilots, etc. But not aerobatics at all. At least what I can see. Sorry if this is a bit off-topic but just dont want to see a good opportunity lost here. If I knew how to make a category I'd start putting people in myself, haha Looked up a Chinese aerobatic pilot too and nothing on her either so Im guessing it just isnt there.CompromisingSuggestion (talk) 05:24, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CompromisingSuggestion: that is a good idea. Bruxton (talk) 15:32, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Stalin"

I assume this is a pun on "Stalling"? TooManyFingers (talk) 22:18, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to tell. I'd have loved to be at the Admin when they gave her that call sign.
