This is not a time when women should be patient. We are in a war and we need to fight it with all our ability and every weapon possible. Women pilots, in this particular case, are a weapon waiting to be used. — Eleanor Roosevelt, 1942.
Its not uncommon for those groundpounders (and I say that with fondness) to talk bad about those of us in the chAir Force. I know you all are jealous of our golf courses and we have all the pretty girls, but seriously guys, we do work hard. Here's a defense from Lightning over at OP-FOR.

This blog in no way represents the views of the U.S. Air Force or any other government entity. That being said, I am thankful for Jesus, coffee, dogs, daisies, unexpectedly good things happening, jet engines (ok props too), live music, and beer.

Actually, I was talking more about Marine air. Air Force pilots won't even give us an "IP Inbound" call. It's a major PITA when the pilot calls "Hawk 21, in from the east" and you didn't even know he'd left the IP. ;)
OK, I'll be fair and say that I did get excellent work out of a section of Vipers in Iraq.
Aw, man. I promise I won't be like that when I get my Viper... The only Marine pilot I've ever met was a jerk, and not the brightest person I've ever known
