“Bitchin’ Betty” Retires (F-18)

Apparently Bitchin' Betty (or at least the F-18 version) is retiring.

S/F,

Too cool to learn that it's a no-kidding actual person's voice. I would have thought it was a robo-Siri type thing. Never had voice warnings in the jets I was in.

I think the original one was when the Air Force put the system into F-16s to assist guys coming from F-4s getting used to a rapid onset of Gs using fly-by wire. Seem to recall that there was a study that concluded that male pilots responded best to a female voice...........you know biology and all.

Female voice causes a boner which pushes the stick forward unloading the airplane and reducing the Gs.

Makes sense....

Pretty cool lady it seems, but how on earth was that a career for her…….just in terms of tasking? Record 20 seconds of audio, then hang for several decades in case another recording is required? I would have to imagine she had another job at the company but the video doesn't cover that.

She had lots of other jobs. She was working on CBTs for a while. Like they mention, the voice thing was just a right chick in the right place. I met her in St. Louis and knew it was her before I even asked her. Of course we asked her to do all of the voices and she was more than happy to oblige.

I do like that as soon as she said she wanted to "say goodbye to the girls" they flashed to an F/A-18F……the real girl model :)
