Pilots are fucking camwhores

Implying females can pilot fighter aircraft

>>3370642
>implying they cannot

wait

no they can't

what the fuck

>>3370642
amelia earhart was a guy?

Either full retard, or troll.

tthere are female fighter pilots
and not only in USAF
Japs have fighter female pilots too

>>3370686
>>3370682
she did you fucking retards. check wikipedia

>>3370661

Alien Ant Farm was a guy?

>>3370661
She never came back, didn't she?

>>3370691

[citation needed]

Just curious. I was under the impressions that female aviators cannot engage in combat roles and that female fighter pilots weren't allowed.

>>3370694

There was no debate you moron. What makes you think a modern fighter aircraft compares to a prop-engine aircraft. Fighter pilot sure, back in her day. Totally irrelevant today.

>>3370691
I know that with in the armed forces women cannot serve as fighter pilots. There's some other role (HMG?) they can't do either.

>>3370716
why are you even here you faggot? do you understand anything about science?
she flew a fucking fighter pilot. now piss off dumbass.

Troll confirmed.

Awesome picture OP. bump for props! (or jet turbines)

For you F-15 fans.

>Women serve in all specialisations, except those where the primary duty is "to close with and kill the enemy." Women are, therefore, excluded from the Royal Marines General Service (as Royal Marine Commandos), the Household Cavalry and Royal Armoured Corps, the Infantry and the Royal Air Force Regiment.

I don't even know.

>>3370813
damn, my bad. I must've forgotten to type that bit up :/

USAF Major Nicole Malachowski flew with flight demo team "Thunderbirds".

>>3370823

An exception to the general consensus. But its true that women cannot serve in combat roles.

>>3370735
>The second officer survived by ejecting himself out of the cockpit
>when Kara was ejected .4 seconds later, the jet plane was upside-down, and she ejected straight into the water.

>>3370828

Ground combat obviously, but in air combat the only physical demands are pulling g's and fit females can handle it.

>>3370828
>Persian Gulf
>women fighter pilot downed Iraqi aircraft
>"how does it feel to be shot down by girl?"

for UK
From 1994 to 2004, around 70 female RAF pilots flew fast jets.

>>3370837

details, my friend. Details.

>>3370912

Sorry. Still referring to USAF in my thread. Exceptions to UK

>>3370912
wat. I was in the ATC and our wing commander said she had been turned down because she was a woman when she'd attempted to become a tornado pilot. That said, she did seem like the kind of person who could bullshit quite easily.

>>3370857
>but in air combat the only physical demands are pulling g's and fit females can handle it.

Better than men, no doubt.

>>3370857

I don't know. Women can hardly drive cars. Putting them in a jet fighter aircraft in a cockpit with more than a hundred buttons, switches, and gauges? Not is the military's best interests.

>>3370954
>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Salter
Jolly good. I'd better forget the rest of the stuff I learnt from her.
>>3370955
I'd actually doubt that. Unless they're wearing a (really) supportive bra, women will be at a disadvantage. Female spatial awareness is also slightly worse than male.

>>3370982
Women are smaller than men. You can't argue this, sorry.

>>3370995

Because they've got less muscle and bone mass.

Thus less able to put up with gravity.

>>3370995
Planes are designed for men, not women. They can't be made much smaller.
As >>3371009
says, women have weaker muscles and a lighter frame, meaning that they can't pull the same moves as men.

>>3371009

Cockpits are designed for pilots with certain dimensions. Men have greater spatial awareness. More developed muscles allow men to better control bloodflow (contracting leg muscles) when pulling g's. Greater reflexes.

There are plenty of reasons why women aren't fighter pilots.

>>3371031
but they are
they are just out of combat missions

>>3371046

>fighter pilots
>out of combat

That's just a pilot, anon.

>>3371046

yes alright you've made your point. i doubt a woman was flying in OP's picture, just because there is such a low percentage of female aviators out there.

>>3371046
>fighter pilot
>out of combat

>>3371050
women pilots were guarding No Fly zones in Iraq war. If something entered those zones they would have to down it.
I seriously hope you don't want to name them guard jet pilots or something

Wasting jet fuel and hurrr military birdies.

Fucking waste of money.

>>3371050

Sounds like the majority of male fighter pilots that are not in combat zones.

>>3371055
>>3371050

Yes it's a fighter pilot because he/she's piloting fucking fighter jet not because they are fighting something
Fighter aircraft: military aircraft designed for air-to-air combat

>>3371096
and not used for them. I guarantee you will not find a female fighter pilot fulfilling a primary combat role in a fighter-bomber aircraft in the US.

You bitches will argue about ANYTHING

Our first woman fast-jet pilot qualified back in 1991 and all RAF roles are open to women, with the sole exceptions of RAF Regiment Officer and RAF Regiment Gunner. The RAF Regiment carry out roles similar to front-line infantry and in common with the Army (who recently conducted a two year review of this issue), women are still not recruited for roles that can involve fighting the enemy face-to-face. This position may be reviewed again in the future.

>>3371118

No we won't.

Prove it.
