ooh baby...I hope it's not true that when women work together their pms becomes syncronized. Some bad guys and girls can run but there's nowhere to hide.

are all permanently assigned to the 43rd Airlift Wing
During the mission, the crew transported 151 Marines and their equipment.

Ah, I hate to say it, but this was a transport mission in an unarmed plane. Not a combat mission.

Even as such it was not new or unique. Many all women crews of Carrier On-board Delivery (COD) aircraft have transported combatants to and from Navy carriers for many years. CODs have landed troops in Kandahar for several years now.

Their statements show why they ARE qualified. No excuses, no compromise. Glad to see em on the job!

>"I enjoyed flying with this crew, but I don't think we should go out of our way to have all-female crews," said Captain Mitchell. "It took a long time for women to become accepted as aircrew members, and now that we are, we would be taking a step back by singling ourselves out rather than blending in with the rest of the Air Force."


Airman Alonzo agrees. "It was a great experience not many >females can say they've had," she said. "However I don't believe the Air Force should seek out all-female crews -- instead, we should focus on experience."


"The Air Force) should have the best crews they can put together. Nothing other than qualification and ability should be considered," said Captain Mack.
