You are implying that she was thinking at all.
She kicks the bucket or ups her stock and gets laid and wins Darwinian.
Looks much closer than it was. The wings, even with flaps deployed are about three meters above he ground. I’m surprised she wasn’t blown down by the wing vortices.
She is Russian. She reports in English. She did not just wander on to the flight line, any more than Russian strategic bombers happened to visit the People's Republic of Venezuela.
