CombatACE Interview with Leslie "Bitchin' Betty" Shook Pull up! Pull up! is a command many of us may be familiar with while using Strike Fighters or DCS simulators. But there are some here at CombatACE who may have heard the real thing. That automated voice is usually referred to as Bitchin' Betty. There are; however, several variants of the automated warning voice. Some call it Barking Bob, Naging Nora, and a few refer to the voice as Sonya, as in gets on ya nerves. Our spotlight; however, will be shining on Leslie Shook, the Bitchin' Betty, for the F-18 Hornets and Super Hornets. We got in touch with the Boeing Corporation who gladly helped us to set up this interview, with Mrs. Shook.We sent her a list of questions and she took the time to record her responses. The original video is quite lengthy, which is why we've included a 2 minute version that simply goes over the highlights. Lastly there is a bonus feature. Deleted scenes set to a lovely song performed by Jenny's Vision Project. All of the aircraft featured are products of the Boeing Corporation. It is now our pleasure to present this special CombatACE interview with a wonderful woman who has an amazing story to tell.

First I ever heard of them. *ducks from incoming tomatoes*

Interesting.

Did you a hear a soft "F@#! you, captain." over that intercom?

How does that happen though? Cords snapping. I'm not saying anyone is at a fault. Shit happens. I'm just wondering if it's wear and tear over the years or if something just gave out at the wrong time before the crew could find it.

Hey Typhoid was that you? Oh man that was intense.

Did you hear about the new Iron Man? If you haven't .... Here's the link

I know you all are going to kill me for this. But that looks almost looks like a Pinto to me.

That was very amazing! Thank you for sharing those photos. From time to time I look at some things around my town and wondered what they looked like a hundred or so years ago. For instance a fence between a back road and the freeway actually looked as if it used to mark off an old ranch. There was a gate in the fence made of logs it seems. Funny how things change over time.

I hear and see things promoting the movie The Big Friendly Giant ... Articles read "Disney's BFG" voice overs say "The BFG" I'm thinking .... why in the world is Disney doing a movie about a Big Fucking Gun? Doom ... had a BFG Quake .. had a BFG Quake 2 had a BFG Unreal Tournament ... had a BFG Unreal Tournament was also the only game I recall with a deep voice going Kill, Then if you were really good and racking up the kill count you'd hear Ma-ma-ma-monster Kill. Played that game during senior year of high school "testing the network". during a computer class. So when you started hearing "MONSTER Kill" coming from someones speakers we'd all just gang up and find the punk so he couldn't gloat for very long. ... Is it understandable how I get a bit confused when hearing Disney talking about the BFG? Or is something wrong with me?

Another video I came across. For some reason I find it mildly amusing.

Very true. But new isn't always better and old is always obsolete.

I have tears my eyes. That was awesome.

Interesting list. Paper thin wings huh ... should've sent that guy to Germany during WW2... Spitfires would windup as Spitballs.

Just found this and 1.) Thought of Fast Cargo and then 2.) Thought some of you here may like to see this too.

I saw there video a few weeks ago myself. They got Simon to give them a standing ovation .. Simon!

Ah that makes a lot of sense. CLP not COP. Thank you sir!

Yeah I'm lost too.

Hey to all the USMC and military members of CombatACE I was watching a very interesting Youtube video about the making of a United States Marine. From day one to graduation day. The changes made from A to Z. Anyway in the video I noticed some guys wearing shirts with ITC DI on their back. I know DI is Drill Instructor but what does ITC mean? Also On the firing range the guy wearing a white explorer hat (that's what it looks like to me sorry I meant no disrespect). Told a recruit "Remind me to make sure you get C-O-P for that bolt." What does COP mean? And what's with the white hat? That is all. Thank you all for your time, your service, and patience. Semper Fi.

The person with hands in the air (I'm assuming the one that presses the button the launch the plane) why are they twisting like that?

Talk about a cold situation. I meant that in more ways than one.
