I look at it the same as gay's in the military. If they want to fight, so I don't have to. All the power to them, and thank you for your service.

This mission represents the first combat sortie on record to involve only female Airmen from the pilots and weapons officers to the mission planners and maintainers, said Lt. Col. Kenneth Tilley, the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing historian.

Really? This is NEWS?

The two-ship formation consisted of all females, two pilots and two weapons system officers, but more importantly, it marked the first combat mission flown from Bagram to be planned, maintained and flown entirely by females.

TWO planes.

TWO.

Anyone wanna guess the AVERAGE number of sorties flown out of here on a daily basis?

The "average" is SEVENTEEN...EVERY day...

So TWO planes, performing a "milk run" is "historic"?

Thank you for doing your JOB.

Nice find, Bob. I guess I'm ignorant to these things, but I do find it cool to read about.

Tobii, you're missing the point. It's historic because they didn't get lost, or crash. :wink:
