| #3 Get used to it guys. Women are better suited physically to fly high performance aircraft. US fighter pilots just resisted because they didn't like the idea that the girls could not only fly better, but also looked prettier with the white silk scarves than they did. |

| #2 Surely they couldn't have gotten through the training with out putting a few airplanes between their legs, though? |

| #1 The air force academy is still male-dominated, and it is not clear what the real feelings of the male cadets have been to the induction of women into the fighter pilot programme. Officially, most have welcomed the move. Even so, the fact that four women are now officially fighter pilots is a clear indication that the new policy of opening up the combat units of the Pakistani armed forces for women is here to stay. Unofficially, they are the tea girls. The guys won't let them anywhere near a jet - haram you know. |
