Right...
AVIATOR:
Lt Commander Shannon is a trained naval aviator and also part of a pyschological warfare unit.
Herself and several other women under her command have been dropped into the tribal areas around the Khyber Pass in Pakistan with hand held loud hailers. Dressed like that they will be calling for Osama Bin Laden to "Come out with your hands up, we have the place surrounded"!
The Taliban are surrendering in droves.
Viggen:
Did you know that Amelia Earhart was the first female pilot that got the US Distinguished Flying Cross awarded.
This was for her attempt to fly solo over the atlantic. The same route at Charles Lindbergh. But because of bad weather she did not manage to land in Paris, but instead landed her aircraft on Ireland.
