Or a plane… we were in thunderstorms near Tokyo and the captain wanted a vector away from the airport, closer to a cell. I told him the airport was on our right, showed him the ADF needle and VOR. He didn’t believe me - threatening me that it would be my job if I was wrong. Never said a word when we landed ten minutes later… he was disoriented. Seriously Mary Ann, women can do what men can.
Exactly! I’ve flown with “Steve “ and am always grateful for his strength and abilities in facing the challenges of being several miles above the earth, something I’m still not certain is even possible! 😂😂😂
He wasn’t in the literal cockpit, but he is still our patriarch! And he made sure the literal pilots had their avionics and armaments available to them. 😁
I am disappointed that you, a Veteran, would bash female military pilots. Most of the females flying for the airlines were female military pilots who all flown operational and some in combat. I don’t know what you did in the military but I flew H-46 off of Navy ship where I rescued people, trained Navy SEALS and EOD, ensure those in the Navy ships got their mail from home along with a host of other things.
The male and female military pilots who've flown me (I was EOD) were all excellent. You may have been one! I remember one I flew with on Vieques. Isn't it ironic that so many are willing to openly bash women who step outside the box and use their God-given skills and abilities. I wouldn't let any one of these female misogynists anywhere near my children. Kim
I’d take a military pilot over a civilian one any day… and a military female pilot over a male one. I’ve gone through flight school and deployed on Navy ships. The women hands down have been the calm ones and had the skill set. Guys are not challenged like the women are in flight school. It takes a certain type of woman to even make it to flight school. I am still very good friends with ones from then… one of the ones I deployed with is the 3 star in charge of the Navy Reserve, I have 4 friends who have been flying 25 years commercially (American, Delta, UPS, and FEDEX). All of them are Captains. I could go on with more who have accomplished much in their careers… and all but one have families and kids. Really good kids that all but one is in college or have graduated… with my son being the most educated one with his PHD. So, you can have Steve… I’ll take the one who will get me safely to my destination.
I agree with all, but I will add even though the males don't have to prove themselves over and over and over again, many are just as good as their female counterparts.
Yes, they are many great male pilots… the fact that we have to say male or female is sad in this day and age. Flying is unforgiving…either you are good or you go one way or another. They do NOT make you an aircraft Commander.
I want an old guy named Steve who is ex-military in the cockpit.
You can have Steve but sometimes a woman can help him find the airport… it happens. 🤷♀️
If they are in the car. lol

Become a good woman or a good man and you will have a wonderful life...
Thanks Kathy...Women Fly...
Thanks, Captain!
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Like Sully!! 🤩
Only if unjabbed.
That’s my Dad! How I adore him!

I was on the Mount Baker.. we had a EOD det onboard … flew them a lot. You know important trust is between them and the pilots.
These women remind me of the spouses of the guys who were average but their wives wanted to wear their rank.
Especially when doing SPIE near transmission lines!
You win the internet today... LedMAO
