Mil female flyers
To add to kilo52's post of 11/26/02, I'll second that; said female demonstrated abilities and competence first as a fast jet Jengo(a not un-challenging assignment) before becoming one of first femme pilots.
Unfazed,knowledgeable,competent (and damn nice pins/bodaceous),I'd rather have her as PIC than a lot of the didlos I knew in my 'career' in the service. She may be flying you to your next vacation destination...
As to the gender issue, it's just a reprise of what's gone before (race,physical fitness/whatever); though it's an interesting and amusing subject, for sure some folks are challenged by incorp of women in trad male roles- lack of self-confidence ?!
