[Video] Easily rotates 360 degrees... The reigning queen succeeds in the world's first solo flight of a fighter jet.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) With the King of Thailand personally observing, Queen Suthida became the world's first sitting queen to successfully fly a Gripen fighter jet solo.

According to local Thai media such as The Nation and Post Today, the first solo training flight of Queen Suthida's Royal Thai Air Force single-seat JAS 39C Gripen fighter jet was held at the 7th Air Force Base in Punpin District, Surat Thani Province, southern Thailand, at 10 a.m. on the 8th (local time).

On this day, her husband, King Maha Vajiralongkorn, a former Air Force pilot, personally observed the flight and watched the entire process from the flight plan briefing to aircraft inspection and takeoff and landing.

Queen Suthida, who took off from the base and embarked on a solo flight, also demonstrated a 'roll maneuver' in which she rotated the aircraft during the flight to make a 360-degree turn.

After successfully completing the flight, King Vajiralongkorn personally awarded Queen Suthida the 'Gripen Order of Merit Gold Plaque', which is given only to solo pilots of Gripen fighter jets, and also presented her with a congratulatory bouquet.

Queen Suthida, a former Thai Airways flight attendant, is a veteran pilot with approximately 1,200 hours of flying experience. In order to fly the fighter solo this time, the aircraft underwent rigorous simulator practice and ground training in stages in accordance with the Thai Air Force's standard procedures starting last August.
