It's a changing world

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 Sargeant," said the crewmember,

"We No Longer Call It The **** Pit."

"It's The Box Office"

I was instructing in the Navy when the first female pilots came through in 73. It wasn't a fair evaluation because they all had pilot's licenses when they went in the Navy. I remember one of them making an inbound call to the tower. Our squadron call sign was "Heartless". She called the entry point as "Navy Corpus Tower this is "Heartbreak "725 over the high bridge for entry". The radio erupted with laughter and catcalls from every other airplane in the sky. She had a hard time living that down. Another problem in the C-130 was two engines out on one side. It required a lot of leg strength to hold the rudder due to the assymetrical thrust. The lady pilots could only last about 10 minutesbefore their legs gave out.
