Fräulein Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I could have sworn this was posted here. ?? http://www.defendamerica.mil/articles/sep2005/a092705wm3.html While I know there have been all female crews for other aircraft, I believe what was special was that this was for an H.

Where \"we\" would gossip about one of the others in our little clique. The loadies look like sisters. sorry about the \"h\" thing. I was working on translating something...it was total operator error. I clicked submit before proofing. I had thought that\'62 would make it an E? I was hesitant to put it down, but the article said... And we all know that everything on the internet is true. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hmmm.... Four crewmembers armed and none are the drivers. Could a hell of a trip if all 6 got to \"that time of the month\" at the same time. Good thing that it wasn\'t a gunship, cause watch out on the ground.... Another aviation term gone awry. Gives a whole new meaning to the term cockpit. :silly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Look again George, the drivers are wearing shoulder holsters. SEFEGeorge wrote: Hmmm.... Four crewmembers armed and none are the drivers.

SEFEGeorge Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Oh your right, missed the shoulder holsters, I guess that those are gun butts sticking out there.... :woohoo: Boy, guess i\'m gonna catch hell somewhere, from someone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I personally don\'t see what the big hoopla is about. I really don\'t care what gender the crewmembers are, as long as they can do the job. And apparently, that is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I seem to remember when I was stationed at Rhein Main back in the late 1960\'s, there was an all-female C-141 crew on the stateside air evac. The problem was that they got disoriented (lost) on the way home & had to be escorted by fighters. Of course, this could\'ve happened no matter what the gender of the crew -- just too bad it was all females. Anyone else remember that incident? Don R.

DC10FE Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Ooops! You\'re right, Bob. I guess it was during my second tour @ Rhein Main -- 1977 to 1983. Or, like Hush suggested, maybe it was just a long night at the Legion. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyclark Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 By the way, it\'s not a cockpit with an all female crew, that would be called the box office. Apologies up front, I just couldn\'t help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesWatkins Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 When I was in the Magic Kingdom( i really don\'t think Walt had that in mind...LOL)back right after the first Gulf War. There was an all female crew from Pope came to pick up an engine from the downed Ohio Guard KC-135,anyway when the RSAF found it it was an all female crew they came out in droves toungues hanging out. These gals were very professional and stood their ground and did there job. The Americans working also were out helping out anyway we could. Plane still smelled like a herk LOL:P : the next time that happen it was a C-5 crew. I think the Air Force was doing it on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
