Respectfully, the least one could do is do the research and get the name right. The aircraft was flown by Maj. Kristin ‘Beo’ Wolfe, who commands the F35 Demo Team. Would be so much better to properly research than blindly going by things. Also, that is not a Hill bird.
#F35 A was flown by woman pilot, Maj Jonathan “judge” Dronseif from Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Hundreds of visitors and pilots of other aircraft stood under the scorching sun at the Yelahanka Air Force Station to witness spectacular manoeuvres performed by her. @danvir_chauhan

Going through my Wings Gallery. The best moment. The good looking SFU comes in. Aircraft stays parked. Everyone keeps waiting. Then the Marshaller turns back : “Abbey Chocks! Chocks Lao Chocks”
I definitely laughed very hard. Seems everyone lost in the beauty of @embraer
