No, because it is statistically far less likely that a woman could be as good at this than that a woman would be selected based on a PC need for a woman to be selected.
I eagerly await your statistics....
To: Wiser now
He tells me it takes great physical strength to wrestle an F18 in flight while doing those maneuvers.
What type of aircraft did your husband fly?

Cmon. If there is a frontline job for woman in a military it is flying the airplane. We can find many reasons why women makes crappy infantry, artillerists and sailors but why cant you let them fly airplanes? They would probably be great at it. Up to the point where she gets shot down behind enemy lines. In Muslim territory.

In the Air Force Survival Guide, on page 43, it says, ".... if you are a female pilot or crew member who survives a crash in enemy territory, and are captured, remember that your odds of survival are greatly increased if you offer to make them sammiches. See Appendix D for a translation of the phrase "I will make you a sammich" into all current foreign languages...."

To: tanknetter
Yes, I get that. My understanding is that women may be physically weaker then men, but also tolerate G forces much better, partly because they tend to be smaller as well. .... and better at making sammiches.

You’re welcome to try and come up with evidence that political correctness does not trump all other selection criteria, but I think you’d be a fool to try.
Are you sure your on the right forum?

I made no such claim and I never would. I'd never attempt to prove a negative either.
You, however, did write:
...it is statistically far less likely that a woman could be as good at this than that a woman would be selected based on a PC need for a woman to be selected.
Your claim, your proof.

Requiring proof of the obvious is an argumentative tactic commonly used by the desperate. You’ll not be wasting my time with your political masturbation.

Would love to see a report back here on the thread. -Don
I spent a year at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport (MS), and got a chance to go to Pensacola for a practice day for them.
Every week, they spend time around their home field getting ready to go somewhere else for performances. It is open to the public, but a retired former Crew Chief for Fat Albert was living their, also. I was chairman of the MWR for the Resident Committee, and got us an upfront view and tour of the facilities by the current Crew Chief. It was a blast.
Here is one of the retired WW2 women (yes! She was a storekeeper)) that wanted to sit in the cockpit of FA and was granted her wish. That is the "work place"! All I got to do was take pics and step onto a ladder...

She is flying Fat Albert C-130Not to be a stickler for details, but Fat Albert is a C-5 Galaxy, but they did not like for us to call it that, any more than they liked it when we called the B-52 a BUFF, or the A-10 a warthog, or the F-111the Aardvark. Yes, I see you by that F-18. 🙉🙈🙊👌😂😄😃
