El, Viggen's topic isn't "women in the military", it's  "women in aviation". That means all aviation including civil and doesn't mean just pilots. It means any woman connected to aviation. Flight attendants, lady aviation mechanics, even a desk clerk in an airline office.

Check out the attire on this flight attendant on a hot flight in a Fokker 100 from Karratha to Perth.
Note the emergency exits and then make sure your tray tables are upright before you do yourself an injury.
Nice skirt.

Japan Airlines [JAL] is about to become the leading airline in the world as thousands of male passengers change their bookings and future flights.



Following the latest fashion trends in Japan, JAP will be introducing new uniforms to comply with current trends in culture at home.






Qantas, who are stuck with 55 year old female cabin crew dragons have cried foul and are expected to file suit shortly.

Yeah OK Viggen, but it wasn't my fault, Shawn told me to do it. I cut it back to just one photo.

Women in aviation AMY JOHNSON
« Reply #22 on: July 01, 2009, 02:19:17 AM »

The early aviation achievements of Amy Johnson


Early in 1930, she chose her objective: to fly solo to Australia and to beat Bert Hinkler's record of 16 days.

Amy set off alone in a single engine Gypsy Moth from Croydon on May 5, 1930, and landed in Darwin on May 24, an epic flight of 11,000 miles. She was the first woman to fly alone to Australia.

In July 1931, she set an England to Japan record in a Puss Moth with Jack Humphreys. In July 1932, she set a record from England to Capetown, solo, in a Puss Moth. In May, 1936, she set a record from England to Capetown, solo, in a Percival Gull, a flight to retrieve her 1932 record.

With her husband, Jim Mollison, she also flew in a DH Dragon non-stop from Pendine Sands, South Wales, to the United States in 1933. They also flew non-stop in record time to India in 1934 in a DH Comet in the England to Australia air race.

After her commercial flying ended with the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Amy joined the Air Transport Auxiliary, a pool of experienced pilots who were ineligible for RAF service. Her flying duties consisted of ferrying aircraft from factory airstrips to RAF bases.

It was on one of these routine flights on January 5, 1941, that Amy crashed into the Thames estuary and was drowned, a tragic and early end to the life of Britain's most famous woman pilot.
