BillyVance 35 #1 July 16, 2008 Disclaimer: No, I didn't check it with Snopes, but thought it was funny. While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc. Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to Afghanistan' An old MSgt. sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, 'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman? When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?' 'Yes,' said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.' 'My God,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up there in the cockpit.' 'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crewmember, 'We No Longer Call It the Cockpit' 'It's the Box Office'"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BikerBabe 0 #5 July 16, 2008 ha! girl in the right seat is a classmate of mine...and a wings of blue alumna! Don't think she jumps anymore, though. salute, HHH! edited to add...prof, the original may be from 1995, but that picture isn't. we were sophomores then! The picture is probably 3-4 years old, i'm guessing, since the USAFA class of 97 are majors now, and they are captains in that picture. (both right and left seat were 97 grads Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,151 #8 July 16, 2008 QuoteQuoteDamn! The Chica in the left seat is a little hottie! They are all hotties. Yes, they are! True story (only slighly OT). In 1996 the SO (now my wife) and I went on a "Civic Leaders Tour" with the USAF. We flew from Chicago to Kirkland AFB (NM) in a KC135. The (female) boom operator turned out to be the SO's cousin! I took the attached pic from the boom operator's window - sorry, no hotties in the pic.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

jimmytavino 16 #9 July 16, 2008 fact is... alot of it is about the Brains, behind the pretty faces...."Smarts", is what earns one the right to sit in those seats..... pilots can be of all sizes , shapes and sexes... the hotness here, is simply a bonus !!Saw a C5 close up during an airshow.. the front was open, the back was open, and we were able to walk right through it... it is Like a warehouse!! ..... that can FLY..i went back to the airport the next day to watch the departure take-off.... S T O L .. it is NOT !!!!! those wheel set ups,,, are amazing, I felt like i could RUN faster than that plane moved, for the first 500 yards of the take off roll,, but then the wing tips lifted,, the nose went up,, the roar !! enveloped the crowd of witnesses, and she lumbered outta there,,, very cool.....must have used 6 or 7 thousand feet of runway....jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #10 July 16, 2008 Quote fact is... alot of it is about the Brains, behind the pretty faces.... *sigh* It's funny, one of the big "jokes" at the academy is how the female cadets are all dogs, masculine, fat, etc etc. The majority of male cadets wouldn't be caught dead dating a female cadet...They all go trolling at the local universities and UC boulder. How refreshing to hear a different perspective. When i was there i never understood why all these guys would go for fat, stupid, out of shape ditzes when they had the most amazing intelligent, beautiful, fearless, in-shape women right in front of them. I understand now, but then, i was young and naive, lol. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!
