Found this slumming over on F-16.net

Looks like between this and FiFi continuing her tour it really comes down to do you prefer blondes or brunettes. Thought about making a poll......

The 1st one was hotter.

The 1st one was hotter.

Agreed

According to that fighter pilot chick site, the AF has 49 active duty girl fighter pilots. They have around 3500 fighter pilots all together (1.4% chicks). The thunderchickens have 6 pilots, and 2 of them (33%) are chicks, only one of which might be considered to be hot. Hmmm... I just don't understand this. If girls are going to be over represented on the team, why not do a better job of screening for hotness? This has every appearance of yet another military social experiment gone wrong.

She looks decent from that angle.

She looks decent from that angle.

Most women do from at least 1 angle.

Hahaha, true.

So Gangsta...

Makes you wonder when the Blues will select their first female....... The Navy might get pressure there.......

What about the tension/spring on the stick?

While I see where you are going with the numbers, it is a disproportionate percentage of women, this is not a social experiment. The Thunderbirds and Blue Angels are only recruiting/public affairs tools. If the AF wants more female pilots, or to present a more "diversified" image to the public, then they make sure that more females make the Tbirds. Obviously, that has not been a decision made by the Navy.

Interestingly enough, I was just taking a gander at the Thunderchickens site... The PAO was one of my Plebe Summer detailers (and subsequent in-company firstie)... The pic doesn't do her justice.

From the little I've heard, that's why it's there. I guess if they get enough "pressure" (sorry, that was weak...damn, did it again!), the test would go away.

I think hot is relative. What I consider hot are not these chicks. Pilot hot? To each his own.

That is a good point, because we all know about cruise hot. Well except for you COD guys since you are grounded in reality.

I kind of get it, are you joking?
