Attitude vs. Ego:

Is exactly what is most important when judjing any pilot.

When I first started flying in 1953 three of my instructors were female, Molly was without doubt the best instructor I have ever met. Not only was she a born natural with stick and rudder she was professional to a fault.

When learning from her I was so wrapped up in trying to learn it never occured to me to get in her pants.

The sad part of her career was she ended up marring a so called big shot in the local aviation fraternity, he was also a big shot pilot. Truth was he was nothing bit a farce and incompetant to boot, Molly stayed with aviation all her life and no one ever thought to question her being a "woman" pilot to do so would attract attention to yourself and you might have to show some proof that you could fly half as good as her.

So that is my thoughts on female pilots.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
