Whatever.............................

[Stigish]

Next thing you know, they'll be holding fashion shows instead of airshows !

[RLN]

She's got to find her way to Yeovilton first.

[Mayfly]

Good luck to her - you lot are just green eyed!!!

[Stigish]

Yep............

[Hihonyr8811]

You go girl *does that snappy thing with her fingers*

There are two lady Typhoon pilots now too one on 11sqn and I don't know how far the other one has got with her training, last I heard she did her first solo back in January I think and her first air to air refuling.

Bearing in mind of course that Al Murray The Pub Landlord clearly states that there are only 2 legitimate jobs for a woman - secretary or nurse


Researcher = secretary ....PA = secretary who can't spell ....Office Manager = secretary...... Document Controller = secretary

Exactly when were you thinking of taking over

[sorry the inner pedant breaks out momentarily - must take my medication]

[Mayfly]

Take the pi$$ out of me all you wish - doesn't deflect from her achievements does it....



I know we laugh & joke a lot on here but to be honest I am a little saddened that amongst all the bantering & sarcasm - not one of the blokes could say 'Good for her'!!!!

Yeah.

I remeeber watching something on TV, may have been on the one show or something, that proved women actually made better pilots than men
Our brains are better are processing multiple inputs or something.

[Xplumberlives]

Good for her!

I am quite happy to acknowledge her abilities, I like LADY pilots, their heads normally fit in their helmets better than most of the male ones!

[Dan4th]

I for one admire Anyone who has what it
takes to fly an aircraft!

The closest I've ever come to aviation was
when I got my car briefly airborn when I
was young and stoopid!

Danf.

Done that in a MGB over a hump back bridge!! Had to cross it twice a day going to work & home again!!!!

Damn those hump back bridges! Takes me back to being a stupid 17yr old.......It cost me 2 tyres & wheels, front coil springs and a heavily dented ego........first and last time for everything. I left it to the track after that

I admire anyone who can fly aircraft, even more so the fast jet pilots (male or female)

Now now - keep your wig on - 'good for her' is indeed a sentiment I can express - I totally agree that their achievements are first rate - I am - like others - in awe of any pilot - and especially one who has managed to escape the kitchen when her husband wasn't looking ...... 'Sorry dear - dinner late tonight I am busy being a Red Arrow/Black Cat' ...... good excuse though

Oh and is there a pig tail restrainer on a bang seat ---- could be painful if it got caught up

[Nickolas]

Let it be noted here it was two blokes that had the coming together over Crete.
(Might have been initiated by the girl) BUT it was the blokes that collided!!!

I AM JOKING HERE DO NOT GET OFFENDED!!!

Any landing you walk away from is a good one,
If the plane is reusable, that's a bonus.

I met a female lynx pilot at Yeovilton - after she'd done the display. She was extremely pretty, imaculate make-up etc. And she was really friendly too.
And BLONDE! Naturally judging by her colouring.

Absolutely fantastic achievements for both men and women - especially women as they have to do a lot more to prove themselves.
