These are women of the 21 century . Courage , strong , smart , role model . & they make made us so proud of them. God bless Americans.

I cannot believe the negative comments. Rest assured most of them from men with no flying experience - probably no military experience either. Some of the best positive comments were from retired military men! And one answer to a certain negative about what's so hard about what they've done. First of all they have bucked every obstacle put in their way of which there have been many. They are graduates of an extremely difficult top notch college as well. The air force is trying to clean up their image regarding sexual harrassment and I hope this helps. As far as beefy guys helping load heavy cargo THAT IS THEIR JOB! They aren't paid to stand and watch. They are the ground crew doing their job. My thanks to this crew and all the positive commentators who actually know what they're talking about!

My Aunt Louise was in the Women's Army Air Corps in WWII. She flew the hump in C-47's in China/Burma/India at 'Hudson on the Hooglie', an Army base in India. She never married. I asked her "What is your secret to living to 105? She answered me with two words: "Don't Die!"

My wife (Capt. Susan Rogers Regele) was in command of the very first all female flight crew in the military on a C-9 Medevac flight out of and returning to ScottAFB, IL. after multiple stops delivering and picking up patients. The 4 star MAC Commander launched the mission. This mission was in the very late 70's.

This video caught my eye as it was headlining the 21st Airlift Squadron. My late father Phil was a charter member and third commander of the squadron in Australia in WW2.

[@ralphcraig5816]

My favorite story of an all female crew was a C-5 flight to Afghanistan from Travis AFB. They were carrying a battalion of Marines. The SMAG told the loadmaster he'd never worked with a female loadmaster before. She told him it was an all female crew. Shocked, he said "there are only women in the cockpit?" She smiled and told him "We call it the box office"...

I agree fully that Women get this Chance. In most Allied States it took very long that they could do fully duty and cut of the WASP-Status. The first Country which did let Women work as full Airforce-Personal were the Sowjets in 2nd WW (Fighters, Bombers, Transports etc.). In that Case it´s good to see that young Womens in the Allied States / Nato-States could do fully Duty now, esp. in the Airforce if they wish.
