There's 3 fem-flyers in my family, it's a non-issue. None of them have any passion for it, same way I am with fishing, could take it or leave it.
There are some men who like to crochet, nothing is absolute or etched in stone.

You'll be hearing from some more women pilots soon. I've been working with an Rc ministry at my church for close to a year now and the majoraty of the kids I've taught have been girls including two of my daughters. Three of them are graduating HS this year and I'm sure gonna miss flying with them. There's a couple photos in my gallery, my dial up makes it time consuming to add more but I'll get around to it sooner or later. Most of the boys around here these days are whimps who would rather stay on X-box all day than get outside an actually do something....., maybe theres hope for the girls!

You might be right when you say most boys just wanna play on their X-Box and not go outside. Although, at my field their are a couple young pilots that are guys, that are really into it and love flying. I know that theirs hope for girls, just like combatpigg said, " nothing is absolute or etched in stone " Sure, their'll be them times when somebody makes a comment, or speaks their mind about a girl flying. I've had a lot of comments & snickers pointed my way. Regardless, of comments made someone should make that decision him/herself if flying is worth it enough, to push off the comments and prove themselves. Now, that I'm all soloed up and am learning aerobatics, etc. I'm out their proving to them that a girl can fly RC as good (or better) as anyother guy out their. BTW - I think that it is very cool that your getting to teach those kids.

"Wasps" sounds familiar but, I dont know exactly. I'am a diehard Warbird & WWII fan, I should know, but, sadly I dont.

Okay, now that is a GREAT story. I eventually hope to have a career in aviation one day, but, I'm still young and I still have a lot of thinking to do. So, these stories really inspire me and make me think about women and what role they played in aviation, especially back in WWII.
