What bizarre forum. I have been flying helicopters for the Navy for nearly 20 years and only recently had the novel experinece of flying with female "observers" (navigators). I think their job is far more demanding than mine and I have been particularly impressed with their cool and spare mental capacity particularly when under pressure (chop ride). Sadly one or two didn't make it, but then so have many men before them.

I belive very much that Men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Frankly I would rather have a Martian and a Venutian in a cockpit when it was all going horribly wrong then two from the same planet. CRM is considerably better and mission is accomplished with the same degree of panash as it ever was - perhaps more.

Come on girls lets see more of you in the front seat.
