Aviation list ping..."C-130 Crew of note...."

Somethin' 'bout a female pilot packin' a semi-automatic just does it for me ....

Trust me it is true.

Try being the only one in the kitchen during the lunch rush with 8 waitresses seething at the plate window.

Suicide in the deep fryer was becoming an option...

Good. Now when can we send out draft registration notices to all 18 yr old women too? It's *LONG* overdue.

I had one of the first female C-130 crewmembers (a loadmaster) on my crew years ago. She did a good job.

She was very petite. We were at Osan AB (Korea) out on the town one night and she tried to keep up with our (male crewmember) drinking-- she got really drunk, passed out, and later spent the entire night puking her guts out.

Like I said, she did a good job.

The flight deck crew were carrying pistols over their shoulder, casually like purses..

When sitting in the seat it is much easier to unholster that pistol from a shoulder holster than a leg holster.

Lots of levers and switches near your leg that could be bumped at the wrong time.

And with a load of Marines in the plane they flight crew may have very well need that access while in flight;)

"Heck, I'm impressed by the way they fit all them there Marines in da plane!"

Must have been stationed in Japan and ridden the trains.

"All of the on-deck (cargo handling) crew were wearing pistols on their hips. Strapped down, holstered and ready. The flight deck crew were carrying pistols over their shoulder, casually like purses.. Now, if you were a bunch of Marines, where would YOU stand?"

ERECT!

It's been a few years since I rode in a C-130. IIRC, there weren't too many ladies rooms aboard the Herky Bird. Have they been retrofitted lately to accomodate Co-Ed crews/Pax?

About twenty years ago we were on the ground at Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe to receive a shipment scheduled in on a C-141. My partner and I drove up to the C-141 as it was parking. The door opened and the loadmaster was standing in the door, an M-16 at the ready. Then I noticed the nail polish. First time we'd ever seen a lady loadmaster (or would that be loadmistress?).
