Back when the first Chinooks deployed out to Bosnia we would take great delight in taking any interested females flying with us. One day a blonde Army Captain turned up and she was ushered in to the jumpseat by a hugely grinning pilot.
After a 2 hour flight where he explained what all the controls, knobs and switches did in the most simplistic terms (not to mention buttering her up as much as humanly possible), he eventually asked what she did in the Army.
“Oh, I’m a Lynx pilot" she replied!
The hole that opened up beneath him just wasn’t big enough. The rest of the crew of course just couldn’t contain themselves…..
