She flew the book, I flew the airplane.
Have worked with quite a few female pilots, some are really good, some are pains in the arses, just like male pilots,
Wish there was more female pilots, makes for good conversations in the cockpit, and it smells better as well.
Had a female Chief Pilot once, she taught me good things and could fly circles around me..
Apologies for a facetious question, but how does one “fly circles around” another person? Surely a pilot is equally as qualified as another, and are flying IAW the manual? Granted, experience is a great thing, but it’s not exactly Maverick v Iceman up there is it?
