I know there were two female Pig WSOs, but are there currently any female Hornet or Super Hornet drivers? (not WSO's)

You could have phrased that differently :ooh:

...possibly - but most would have known I was referring to the big jet.

Female fighter pilots in the RAAF? They have been eligible since the early 90's but no success as yet. I personally don't know of any on the horizon, and I'm close enough to know! The hierarchy are really keen to make this happen.
Anyway, why would they want to fly fast jets when they could fly that mighty four-engine harbinger of death, the Lockheed P3 Orion?! :p
Female RAAF Aircrew
One of the female F-111 WSOs married a male WSO. Then she retrained as a pilot. Must be some interesting conflicts of interests!
Hope they make out OK.
How were the F-111 WSOs reemployed following the phase out of F-111s?

Probably as WSOs for the F/A-18Fs... which are 2-seaters, you know.
