@jw9737 "There are a lot of damn good female fighter pilots " Hmmmm. Call me a cynic, but I'm afraid I've heard one too many versions of the same story from different countries and services - in order to meet political imperatives to get women into "elite" positions, the entrance requirements were lowered again and again.

I don't think I've heard Drinker so happy - and that's really rather splendid. If the goal is to stop Russia getting nuclear weapons, they are about 70 years too late however.

@willmungas8964 I don't know what your fathers experiences or reasons for saying that were. I am sceptical firstly because of the general background in western society and government in general of promoting for traits over ability, the trend across military forces to sacrifice standards to the political imperative to promote women, and also because of the inability of women to compete successfully with men in comparable activities like elite-sport and race-car driving. But then, I'm not a pilot. So I could be wrong.
