Some of you may remember the incident with Chinese pilot Wang Wei (known as wrong Wei) in April 2001. He was buzzing a US EP-3E near the Chinese coast, got too close, and struck it. The US plane went out of control and was plunging toward the ocean. The only reason the pilot, Shane Osborn, was able to save himself and the 23 members of his crew was UPPER BODY STRENGTH. Unfortunately, women do not have such body strength. This woman may have been a very good pilot, but had she been in control that day, there would have been 24 dead Americans.

You are spot on about upper body strength problems with women pilots; this is confirmed by my pilot son (now Captain “Ace”).
