The First Active Duty Air Force Pilot To Compete To Be Miss America…

Madison Marsh is the young woman who just won 2023’s Miss Colorado pageant. She’s also an active-duty Air Force piIot who recently graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy, which means she will be the first-ever active-duty USAF pilot to compete for the Miss America pageant crown.

Marsh also recently appeared on FNC’s Fox & Friends Weekend to discuss her run for the pageant title and how the miIitary views her decision to go for the crown.

This year’s Miss America pageant has been going on since January 6, 2024.

And Marsh is not just a pilot and pageant contestant. Fox & Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth, going over her impressive resume, said, “you’re a National Truman Scholar, two-time National Astronaut scholar, eight-time Dean’s List at the Air Force – three-times Superintendent’s List, a National Rhodes finaIist, certified private pilot, and a black belt in taekwondo, and you’re a graduate of the Kennedy School at Harvard.

Then, after they joked about how intimidated potentiaI suitors must be, Marsh turned to discussing why her story is one that is important and worth telling. Doing so, she told the hosts, Cause I started flying around 15, that’s whenever I kind of fell in love with the Air Force Academy and the idea of serving.

And so I walk through what that flight looks Iike and some of the things that went wrong and how they relate to me today as a leader and an officer, and kind of how that goes into pageantry as well.”

Can You Find All the Ducks? 

Are you ready to test your observation skills? Take a look at the picture below. At first glance, it may seem like there are only a few ducks, but there’s a twist!

If you take a closer look, you’ll notice that the number of ducks in each row increases. It’s like a hidden puzzle waiting for you to crack it. Starting from left to right, the first row has 1 duck, followed by 2 ducks, and then another 2 ducks.

But it doesn’t stop there! In the second row, each duck is doubled. And in the third row, there’s a triple duck, followed by two single ducks. Phew! That’s a lot of math!

Okay, let’s break it down. If we add up all the ducks row by row, we get: 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1. And the total is… drumroll, please… 16 ducks!

Impressive, isn’t it? Did you manage to find all of them? If you did, give yourself a pat on the back. If not, don’t worry, it’s all in good fun! Challenge your friends with this tricky puzzle and see who can find all the ducks. Happy duck spotting!
