At numerous times during my 23 years in the U.S.Navy I heard fellow sailors, and some of them very senior enlisted personnel who should have been smarter, remarking how women don't belong in aviation maintenance or the cockpit. Flight lieutenant Goodman is another outstanding example of women in aviation. I wonder how many of the "anti woman in aviation" types would have volunteered to go into that LZ with her?
Is that chick in front of the Hurri a brit? I thought they didn't have good looking women over there.

Flight Lieutenant Michelle Goodman
NOW how do you feel timshatz?!!
I certainly wouldn't mind doing a few hours of 'dual' with her..........she can obviously handle a big chopper well in any situation!
Well done Michelle - bet Mum and Dad are proud, and so they should be! (For he benefit of our non-UK readers - the UK armed forces are not renowned for handing out medals and decorations willy nilly; DFCs are a bit special). The boys and girls (SH in particular) based in Iraqistan are continuing the finest traditions........

Tell you what chaps - if that female on the MoD ATC recruiting advert looked as rabbit scared as that at work, she'd would have been under very close supervision on my Sqn! And if the truth be told she'd be fighting for any solo endorsements too with that apparent lack of confidence. ATC is not a game for faint hearts and shrinking violets, nomatter one's gender (don't like to use the word 'sex' - it has smutty overtones dontcha think?) or how good looking you are!
