Girls Do It!!

[widgeon13]

THESE AIR FORCE MEMBERS DID
WHAT THEIR GRANDMOTHERS COULDN'T DO!

The 376th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, flew an ALL FEMALE KC-135 Stratotanker air refueling mission over Afghanistan on Jan. 31. Early on Jan. 31, a KC-135 Stratotanker took off from Ganci Air Base, Kyrgyzstan, carrying more than 180,000 pounds of fuel and an all female crew, both pilots, a navigator and a boom operator. The event marked the first all female crew to fly an air refueling mission into Afghanistan from Ganci. Capt. Heather, and the boom operator, Senior Airman Lyndi, are all assigned to the 99th Air Refueling Squadron at Robins Air Force Base, Ga. They have been deployed here since Dec.9.

That's pretty cool. Anybody else think the pilot is kind of cute? C'mon, somebody had to say it!

It's fine to have women in non-combat roles in the military, but why do some think they need to strike the bull-dyke pose every time they have a picture taken. The one on the far left and the third from the right look like they want a sex change. On the other hand the four fly-girls in the original shot look like they don't have any gender-identity problems.

Take any random pic of six males in uniform and this will also not be an entirely pretty picture.

Cut all the sex based crap and thank them for their service to their country

Send this to ME to show the women there what it means to be equal.

Congratulations, women.

Would be happy to tank up with these ladies!

I did a flight check on a woman pilot a few years back. One of the best pilots I have ever flown with and nice person. Now flys a private exec jet out of DC. Kinda cute to boot...

Just a grammatical stickler, Joe, but is it "...a flight check with a woman pilot?" A flight check "on" conjures up images of admittance into the mile-high club.
