While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc.
Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to Afghanistan '
An old MSgt. sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, 'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman? '
When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?'
'Yes,'! said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.'

the genders have switched places!
that's why it's no longer called a cockpit! and stewardess's are now called flight attendants.
Coffee, Tea or Me?
I think the woman on the bottom Right was born and raised in the Salisbury area . . . . her name is Tina I think
women cant drive. luckily theres pretty much nothing to hit while flying at 45000 feet. good thing she aint got to parallel park that thing! :)
GO ladies, show them how it's done!! Congratulations and best wishes in all your future flights!
Sounds like 10:59 is a little jealous. Get over it.
You go girls!!!
Hell, that ain't nothing I once flew on a C-5 that was crewed by and all male crew.
as I heard it the old sarge mumbled something disparaging to the attendant.
She replied "that's another thing. We no longer call it a cockpit".
this is why I'm hot !!!!
An "old" MSgt (E7/E8) depending on service, would most likely have joined the service in the early 90's... Well after women had been given critical jobs in the military. Think this story was just fabricated to show off the planning done by some mission planner in the squadron's Ready Room to put all his female aircrew on the same flight... Well it paid off, apparently it's national news...
bottom right looks like a child
I thought the Air Force retired the C-5 a couple years ago and replaced them with a new plane?and who cares who flys them as long as they dont fall out of the sky when I go under them on RT1.
Sorry, Joe, but you've been duped. Look behind the crew and you see electromechanical instruments. The C-5 flight deck was updated to glass cockpits years ago. This picture is at least 7 yrs old, probably more.
Photo is definately dated and not recent. The C-5 flight crew was cut down to 3 about 10 years ago, due to advancements in technology.
Anonymous 4:57pm- I don't see where Joe said this was taken yesterday do you? Also have to by negative don't you!
during the first gulf war i was in a unit the took part in ,at the time was the largest helicopter movement in the us army history , when i climbed into the blackhawk i heard in my headphones a female with a thick southern drawl, and when i looked uo i saw the hottest major i have ever seen, but regardless of gender she was a hell of a pilot and it was my honor to be aboard. HOOAH !MAM
