I believe women navigators or other weapons operators are called pilots, even if there is a male pilot actually flying the plane. Doesn't matter though -- there are indeed females in some of those craft and they are putting their lives on the line.

Women can't fly combat missions or aircraft so this is obviously some fake news...sheesh you'd think they would try to lie properly at least :)

You have an issue with our Mexican-American posters and military members?

I find it amazing that one so new could be one so bigoted and obnoxious.

I thought the Bush Administration discontinued having women flying over combat zones.

For what it's worth, comments from the Arabs or the Communists about shooting down planes, US troops killed or captured, and the like, are almost NEVER true.

There was an earlier post detailing a group of Mexican lesbians were protesting against the war. I looked for pics of the march to no avail.

>>>I didn't think women were flying combat aircraft in combat situations.<<<

At least one of the helos flying forward scout for the lead tank column on day one was a woman.
