Interesting - and encouraging - flurry of 'all-female crew' stories in recent months:

Sky Shuttle AW139 flies with all-female crew (http://helihub.com/2013/05/07/sky-shuttle-helicopters-first-all-female-crew/)

First all-female helicopter aerobatics squadron formed in Russia (http://english.ruvr.ru/2013_02_21/First-female-helicopter-squadron-Light-on-their-wings/)

First all-female HH-60 MEDEVAC crew - WI ARNG (http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/news/local/fox_cities/local-soldier-rachel-simeth-on-all-female-wisconsin-national-guard-black-hawk-crew)

All-female flight crew log Bristow Norway’s 100,000th S-92 flight hour (http://www.sikorsky.com/StaticFiles/Sikorsky/Assets/Attachments/NEWSLETTER/commercial/Commlinks_0413.pdf#page=4)

New York State Police helicopter flies with first all-female crew (http://capitalregion.ynn.com/content/top_stories/651289/all-female-crew-takes-to-the-skies/)

So no more wisecracks (I'm looking at you, Peter Griffin).

Sorry to spoil your fun so early but your examples are not unmanned. Manned means carry or performed by a human being.;)
