To get back to the original question that started this thread, I'm happy to stand up and be counted as another female wannabe. This should be obvious from my name; Whirly Bird = female helicopter pilot - but some people don't seem to realise that. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
Apart from that I'm getting sick of women pilot threads that crop up with monotonous regularity every month or so. Women have been getting pilots licences for over 90 years. When oh when is it going to be considered as normal as women teachers or doctors or cleaners or workers in MacDonalds, and not even mentioned?
