Nicole Malachowski is the first woman to fly with the Air Force Thunderbird aerial demonstration team, and so much more. During her 21 years of military service, Col. Malachowski had to make fast, smart decisions again and again. Nicole has flown at twice the speed of sound, advised the first lady, and provided security for Iraq’s democratic elections in 2005. She has stretched the limits of risk, and reinforces the ability to reimagine what’s possible.
