Never had the pleasure of flying on a fast jet sqn with female aircrew. However, I have flown with hundreds of air cadets and several dozen UAS studes (during Freshers' week and on sand-bag trips). At their young age the ability range is from "will never be able to fly anything as long as he/she has a hole in his/her ar$e" to "jeeeeeeeeeezuss matey - get your ass down to the recruiting shop as soon as you're old enough 'cos I want you in the RAF". The best half a dozen I've flown with (in my humble opinion) as far as natural ability is concerned have been ladies, but - overall and on average - there has probably been little or nothing to choose between the sexes as far as poling skills are concerned.

Now, I'm an old buggah, but I don't care if you are black, white, green, yellow, blue, male, female, both (or not sure), fat, thin, tall, short, ugly, good-looking, christian, buddhist, muslem, jewish, hindu, vegetarian or a bleedin' horse!! If you're good ---- welcome to my Air Force!!!!

Go for it and love it!! AND BANTER BACK !!!!!
