According to Wikipedia, Susan Oliver earned commercial pilot ratings for airplane single-engine land, airplane multi-engine land, instrument airplane, and a glider rating. Susan also obtained a type rating for Learjets.
Susan also flew in many long distance competition, including a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
So Susan was a rather accomplished pilot in her own right!

...She was also the green Orion slave babe in the first Star Trek pilot, 'The Cage'.
Which leads to a story which has been confirmed over the years.
So they paint her green, and film the scene. Upon reviewing it....she ain't green. They lay on a slightly heavier makeup, film it again....and on review, she STILL ain't green. This time, the heaviest makeup they can safely put on her, extra green lights and green filters for the camera.
Still not green.
At this point the producers are tearing their hair out, and Miss Oliver is starting to have some skin issues from the makeup. So they decide to do it one last time with the settings from the first shot, and the producer is going to follow the film through processing to see if they can figure out what's wrong.
Well, he takes it to the Desilu developing section, which is run by a guy who's been there for decades. The producer steps back to watch the developer, who starts rolling the film...then shakes his head sadly and mutters, "Goddammit, she's STILL green!", and proceeds to try and reverse the coloring again.
Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 | Au cours du dernier mois de juin 2026, la situation sécuritaire au Burkina Faso est restée très dégradée, même si l'attention médiatique régionale s'est davantage portée sur les offensives du JNIM au Mali🇲🇱 et de l'EIGS au Niger🇳🇪.
Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 | During the last month of June 2026, the security situation in Burkina Faso remained highly degraded, even as regional media attention focused more on the JNIM offensives in Mali🇲🇱 and the EIGS in Niger🇳🇪.
The JNIM remains the dominant armed group across much of the territory🇧🇫, with regular attacks targeting military positions of the Burkina Faso Armed Forces (FABF) or VDP (Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland), logistical convoys, and communication infrastructure, in the north along the Malian border🇲🇱 and in the central-north.
📍On June 21, JNIM released a video (with some footage filmed by drone) on its propaganda outlet Az Zallaqa, claiming the June 10 attack on a military post in Pensa, in Sanmatenga province.
The terrorist offensive reportedly caused the deaths of 20 FABF soldiers and triggered a mass flight of the civilian population from Pensa (📸 in comments).
📍On June 12, JNIM attacked an FABF military post in Bougi, in the Tougan region, seizing weapons and equipment.
📍On June 18, JNIM took control of a VDP military post in Tougou, between the towns of Ouahigouya and Titao.
Three days earlier, on June 15, the terrorist group had attacked an FABF patrol north of Titao in the Loroum region.
📍On June 20, JNIM claimed the destruction of an FABF vehicle by an improvised explosive device (IED) on the outskirts of Séguénéga, in Yatenga province.
[Reuters] A former Israeli prime minister acknowledged on Tuesday that Israel had smuggled Starlink internet receivers into Iran to help anti-government protesters, though he said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government failed to follow through on the plans.
Naftali Bennett,
… on paper this Bibi protege is the next gen. Bibi. In reality he somehow wasn’t hard or wily enough to make it work, the only time he was elected to the spot…
who served as prime minister in 2021 to 2022, told an audience at the JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem that he had initiated a "process of acquiring and smuggling into Iran tens of thousands of Starlink receptors that would allow continuity of the internet and social networks".
Starlink, owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX.O), opens new tab, provides satellite internet connections. Iran has previously accused Israel and the United States of smuggling in the devices to undermine its security. Starlink is not licensed to operate in Iran but Musk has previously said the service is active there.
Bennett said the devices were intended to enable protesters to coordinate and ultimately topple the Iranian government.
"Unfortunately, the current incompetent Israeli government stopped doing that," he said. "And when the protest happened, that infrastructure was not there."
[Free Beacon] A Hamas military operative masquerading as an Al Jazeera photojournalist died in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza this weekend, according to the Israel Defense Forces. It’s the latest example of a jihadist militant operating under the guise of a journalist in Gaza.
The IDF announced the death of Ahmed Samir Muhammad Washah on Saturday, saying he was "a Hamas terrorist who posed a threat and served as an Al Jazeera Photojournalist."
Hamas Sniper Who Worked for Al Jazeera Dies in Israeli Airstrike, Joins Long List of Terrorists Disguised As Journalists: AJ Praises ’Kind, Principled’ Worker Ahmed Samir Muhammad Washah’s brother, who also worked for Al Jazeera and who Israel says was a Hamas bomb-maker, also died in an Israeli airstrike a few weeks ago
A Hamas military operative masquerading as an Al Jazeera photojournalist died in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza this weekend, according to the Israel Defense Forces. It’s the latest example of a jihadist militant operating under the guise of a journalist in Gaza.
The IDF announced the death of Ahmed Samir Muhammad Washah on Saturday, saying he was "a Hamas terrorist who posed a threat and served as an Al Jazeera Photojournalist."
Washah, a 25-year old Gaza resident, was killed during a "precise strike in the central Gaza Strip" that also killed two other Hamas operatives. Washah, the IDF revealed, "advanced sniper attack plans and additional terrorist activities against IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip."
[IsraelTimes] Sabaei Zahir Abd al-Hamid Abu Hasna, a member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force who forced Israeli captive to kiss him upon release, was targeted in Saturday airstrike, says military
A Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... terrorist who invaded Israel during the October 7, 2023, onslaught and held hostage Omer Shem Tov in captivity during the war was killed in an Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... over the weekend, the IDF announced on Monday.
The military said the strike in the northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip on Saturday killed Sabaei Zahir Abd al-Hamid Abu Hasna, a member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force.
When Shem Tov was released by Hamas, he was seen being directed to kiss Abu Hasna on his head by the terror group’s cameramen, who were filming the carefully staged handover event.
Abu Hasna invaded Israel on October 7, held Shem Tov in captivity, was involved in planting bombs during the war, and recently attempted to advance attacks on troops operating in Gaza, the IDF said Monday.
In an interview after his release in February 2025, Shem Tov said he was held in a cell 40 meters (130 feet) underground, where he was often in total darkness. He survived on little more than a biscuit daily, he said — dropping from around 80 kilograms (176 pounds) to 55 kilograms (121 pounds).
"There were times I thought, I’m blind. I have been starved. I have been spat on. I’ve been cursed. Difficult, difficult times," Shem Tov said last year.
In a separate strike over the weekend, three Hamas button men who attempted to advance attacks on troops were killed, the military added.
The IDF in recent months has been ramping up strikes on terror operatives in Gaza, including several October 7 terrorists, claiming they posed a threat to Israeli forces.
Earlier Monday, the IDF said that two Hamas operatives who had been advancing attacks on troops were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza over the weekend.
One strike in northern Gaza on Saturday killed Ahmad Munir Khalil Zaza, chief of engineering in Hamas’s West Jabalia Battalion, according to the military. The IDF said Zaza was involved in manufacturing and distributing weapons to the battalion’s fighters and was responsible for building bombs and booby-trapping homes.
"Recently, Zaza attempted to plant bombs near the Yellow Line to harm IDF troops operating in the area," the military said.
In a separate strike in northern Gaza, the commander of Hamas’s sniper array in Gaza City, Hussein Safadi, was killed, the IDF added.
"Safadi was responsible throughout the war for all sniper attacks against IDF troops operating in the Gaza City area," the military said, adding that recently he "repeatedly violated the ceasefire agreement and attempted to train holy warriors and advance additional sniper attacks against IDF troops."

[NYP] A US pilot who was rescued after his plane was shot down in Iran chillingly recalled being swarmed by Iranian drones that moved together in unison in a jellyfish-like formation.
“Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” one of the sources familiar with the pilot’s witness account told CNN.
“Real alien s–t,” the source added.

I believe that the F-15 cruises along at about 650 mph.
It would be really hard, in my opinion and at that speed, to visually identify in advance stationary small objects in front of it.
If he flew into flak or something explody that left traces, that split second visual might be interpreted by the brain as something else.

Not a drone in this video case. Another batch of the UFO files shown another one of the Jellies over open water. Apparently both were not visible to the naked eye. Something to chew on.
[NYPost] Dozens of people accused of sharing sensitive information with Israel have been arrested in several areas of Iran, local media reported on Sunday, as Israeli and U.S. fighter jets continue to strike new targets in the country.
In northwestern Iran, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday that 20 people were arrested on accusations by the provincial prosecutor’s office of sending location details on Iran’s military and security assets to Israel.
In northeastern Iran, which has remained relatively untouched by air strikes, Tasnim reported the arrest of 10 people on Sunday, with some accused of collecting information on sensitive locations and economic infrastructure.
“As the Zionist enemy (Israel) and the U.S. are attempting to invade Iran, they simultaneously activate mercenaries and spies to carry out riots as the next step,” a provincial branch of the Revolutionary Guards’ intelligence organization said, according to Tasnim.
The Student News Network also reported on Sunday that three people were detained in the western province of Lorestan for “seeking to disturb public opinion (…) and burn mourning symbols.”
Israel has begun targeting security checkpoints based on tip-offs from informants on the ground, representing a new phase of its assault on Iran, a source briefed on Israel’s military strategy told Reuters this week.
In January, weeks before the U.S. and Israel launched the current war against Iran, there were widespread anti-government protests in Iran that were repressed in the deadliest crackdown in the Islamic Republic’s history.
Authorities had blamed Israel and the U.S. for fomenting what they said were “violent riots” aimed at overthrowing the clerical establishment.

The Islamic Iran elites could careless and only want minions under them.
Arresting these on "created charges", will strike fear into others to toe the line or die. I could see Islamic Iran elites arresting or killing 80% of the population to maintain power.
HOWEVER
This also serves as good example as to why the US Bill of Rights is so important.
Why it MUST BE applied as written, not as politically convenient to some in power seeking more control of "We The People". eg. As was done under the last 4 Left leaning Democrat control congresses and WH admins.
Where the US Bill of Rights was repeatedly abused, redefined, and applied according their growing Liberal Socialist political agenda.
