Ah my Fair Whirls....and I never once mentioned my Sikorsky S-58T days when I enjoyed being bouyed up by a great Twin Pac!
All joking aside folks....the Ladies have had a hard row to hoe in the helicopter world. I recall seeing the first US Army few....and wondering how it would all turn out in the end.
If one keeps an open mind about things and consider the price they have paid proving themselves every bit the equal of their male counterparts....including being Killed and Wounded in combat....then I think we can all accept the fact they have more than earned their place at the bar with us hairy legged neanderthals.
As I have said of many of them individually....they are welcome at my end of the bar...and I'll buy the first round! Based upon some of the piccies....some of them would be especially welcome!
(Sorry...couldn't help me self, Whirls!
