“And as you can well imagine, being an Air Force fighter pilot, it’s my dream to watch that young child called Reach grow up and be a U.S. citizen and fly United States Air Force fighters in our Air Force,” Gen. Tod Wolters told reporters. trib.al/7HWKVSw

Absolutely fantastic. Aircraft commander is a quick thinker to descend to help mom and baby out. Bravo Zulu to everyone involved. Hoping mom and baby and family are all doing well.

Are you kidding me? Reach was born in US custody on that aircraft. She’s a US citizen and debating that is unreasonable. She’s a baby delivered on a US aircraft. Is it really that hard?
