Can't get away from women drivers anywhere these days, can you?
Thought you might find joy in forwarding the news to your new friends from the GITMO/Durbin thread.
Nope. :-)

Sorry, training women for flying combat aircraft is wrong. So far we have held the line on women in combat. If she can't fly in combat why is she flying an F-16? Actually there are very few instances where a USAF might not fly in combat, even if in a C-5. Sometimes combat comes out and finds you.
That's neat.
Thanks for the ping.

Thunderturds WISH they were Blue Angels!!!
Huh? Women are flying in combat and have already flown in combat.
Remember those buildings getting ventilated by an A-10 in Baghdad? Much of that was done by a woman (who managed to land her badly shot up aircraft.)
Hey Vet,
Women have been flying in combat. If you remember during the latter stages of the drive into Bahgdad, the Warthog (A-10) pilot that lost half of the planes rear stabs to flack was a girl. Her initials are KC and her call sign is "Killer Chick". Lots of them flying off CVNs as well. Thanks for your service. We are about the same age. I am still in. USN
I think women have been cleared for fighter pilot duty since 1993...see:

Where have I been ;)
I thought they are arguing right now about females in combat in congress. Have to ask, why would we let a woman in combat in an aircraft when they are not permitted to do the same in a ground combat unit? Unless that has been changed too. I know they are in support roles which in modern warfare is the same thing, but I didn't think we had any female tankers in the 4ID.
