The cargo bay is about 10' 3" wide, at the bottom.

'Women are a liability on the field...'

So what branch of the service were YOU in? And what battlefield have you fought on that you base these observations on? Or is this just tough guy banter?

They're in the Air Force. They can't kick anybody's ass on the ground. That's why they're in the Air Force. Maleness or Femaleness has nothing to do with that.

These women can probably fly circles around the other guys, although the C-130 is not known for it's nimbleness in the air.

Can a Sidewinder be launched while the aircraft is still on the runway?

Don't know if it's a sidewinder; however, yep!

How can you tell that from the picture? Is there something about the way a pilot stands that indicates their skill level, or is that just PC wishful thinking? BTW, which one's the pilot?

wolf · 10-26-2005, 02:00 PM

Depends. If the rocket fires in the cradle, then I think it would flip the fighter on the ground. If a Sidewinder drops and then fires, it would get messy in different ways.

I am not up on my aviation armaments.

"too bad the one third from the right couldn't smile for the camera - she looks like a hottie."

It's the stance, not her hot factor. She's standing more like a girl than the other ones. You think she's hot because her body language says she's more likely to be nice to you.

The one on the left would probably look great in a bikini but she's standing in a very masculine pose so she's less appealing.

Great link! Wecome to the Cellar, Katafalk.

I see you just got your first major snow of the season.

The second from the left is a dead ringer for the X-Files Agent Scully, Gillian Anderson. Amazing resemblence.

I lurve strong women.

I appreciate anyone who is willing to serve. I'm sure they are qualified for their jobs or they wouldn't have them. These women are soldiers, not sissies. The sissies are back home searching for reasons why women shouldn't serve.
Even if they aren't the greatest in a combat situation (I'm just saying IF), They can perform duties that may free up soldiers who ARE to face the enemy head on. Thats what a military machine is all about. I love it.
And they look sexy as hell, too.......... This may be one C130 I may ENJOY a ride on.

The notion being that women in the services, particularly in something like piloting, are under pressure to be better than the best guy.

I got a kick out of this photo someone here posted before of a female B-1 pilot. I re-posted it on another forum and one funny reply was "Another empty kitchen."
