So the interesting thing is that LT COl Riel Erickson had a pretty colorful career, I think she's now the commanding officer of the air force training program in Moose Jaw.
She was the first female pilot to intercept a Russian Bomber.
She also caused some controversy in her home town. I think that the story was they had a local festival and a part of that was an old tractor that took part in a parade. It broke down and the town couldn't afford to fix it so they started a gofundme, or to sell it. It wasn't very successful until Riel offered to buy the tractor, and everyone was happy until she said that she was going to haul it out to a field and drop a bomb on it. After that donations ramped up and the tractor was saved.
