Caught on camera today at Korat, Thailand was a female RSAF [sic] F-16 fighter pilot. While she tried to avoid eye contact, we still managed to capture a picture of her.

IMO, to quote the novel "A Piece of Cake" by Derek Robinson: very expressive eyebrows. 8P |

| I remember when an F/A-18 buzzed the hell out of my unit by Lake Habbania. I saw a big dark shape banking toward us and realized that it wasn't the usual Cobra or Apache. I covered my ears and yelled down through the turret hole that some dude was buzzing us not 50 feet above our 1151. Then the Marine air controller in the back seat (can't remember what they were actually called) told me it was was a chick. She did a few more flybys, and it was the best airshow I ever had. Totally would have sh!t myself had I been an insurgent. |

Norway's former minister of defence Mrs Kristin Krohn Devold ( Minister between 2001 - 2005 ):
She was so much better looking and likable than Rumsfeld ... 
Kristin Krohn Devold visits Afghanistan and the Norwegian base:

F-15E Strike Eagles Female Pilots
Posted 3/31/2011 Updated 3/31/2011
3/31/2011 - BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- A team of female Airmen [sic] made history here March 30 when the F-15E Strike Eagles of "Dudette 07" blazed down the runway to provide close air support for coalition and Afghan ground forces.
The two-ship formation consisted of all females, two pilots and two weapons system officers, but more importantly, it marked the first combat mission flown from Bagram to be planned, maintained and flown entirely by females.

Undated file photo of Norwegian [Air Force] Lieutenant Colonel Siri Skare, who was killed in Mazer-i-Sharif in Afghanistan on April 1, 2011.
The U.N. Security Council condemned an attack on the U.N. compound in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif on Friday that left at least 12 people dead, including seven U.N. staff.
Norway's U.N. mission said on its Twitter page that Lieutenant Colonel Skare, 53, was among those killed. |
