THIS WEEK

Senator Martha McSally and W4W teamed up to give an exclusive on her new memoir, Dare To Fly.

A full Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, deployed six times, and the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat -- Martha needs no introduction.

She sat down with W4W and former State Department official and former FOX News host Heather Nauert to talk about her touching new memoir and everything she's working on in the Senate. 

Here are a few of our favorite clips from their conversation!
