Female pilots eh??
Well I can't help but notice that quite a few of the funny stories are about female students. I'd like you "gents" (as one of you addresses us readers) to consider that just maybe us girls are willing to say the stupid thing or look stupid and as a result learn from it - rather than the plenty of guys I have heard responding to ATC (and I mean commercial pilots too) who clearly haven't a clue what they have just agreed to. So I say "Go girls!" Don't be afraid of asking the stupid question - it might just save your life....and the guys were probably thinking it and just too macho to say anything.
