There are 2 women flying Tomcats that I know of, but I cant tell you how many are training in the pipeline right now. The Tomcat is being retired, so there wont be much of a line, and women are failing at Hornets. Many women are flying CODs, Helos and other boring stuff though. I'll check in tomorrow, but I'm outta here for the evening.

Who are the two women flying Tomcats? I haven't seen any of them make it through a full tour, yet. In the defense of other female aviators, I have seen a couple recently that would be considered fleet average, and one that is pretty good. She is definitely better than her husband. It is all a matter of treatment in the training pipeline. Selection base on gender alone has been a total failure.
