    Ok, here is my take. I have been flying helicopters for 37 years. I hung up my flight suit & helmet last year. I managed to survive 37 years and never crashed or got shot down. Been there done that, Military, Civilian EMS, Firefighting etc. I was an IP and an IFE in the military.
    With this said, I have flown with many female pilots, just like male pilots there are good ones and there are those who I wouldn't let them fly my dog IFR. I had a female pilot try her best to kill me one time in the clouds.
    Now watching this video I must say I am quite impressed. This Captain has to have her "S" together to make Captain with Erickson and in an S64. That is an impressive helicopter. I have never flown one but given the opportunity, I would have jumped on it. My hat is off to this Captain. Just remember, Checklist and NEVER EVER just assume. That old dude or even that young dude sitting next you he can easily do something stupid and l kill you. never push the envelope EVER, NEVER try to impress anyone on your abilities, Master your cockpit management skills. Fly Safe!!!!

      This is a job a woman can do if she has the skills. Now lets see some deep sea fisherwomen. Hell, lets see any woman do any local job anywhere that is hard manual labor. I remember in my ear 20s working at a Grocery Warehouse that distributed to the stores. You have to pull a min of 240 cases per hour without mistakes or you were out. I remember 3 women coming to try the job. They all quit before the first break on the first day.

      @Breaking News Wait, that is exactly what I meant to say. All women do a wonderful job at it. I don't know what we would do without women in the workplace either. Always there with a wonderful attitude and never losing their cool. I have never heard a woman complain about anything at work. Unlike men, women get along with each other in the work place too. Women work so great together. CHeck out this amazing woman doing her job. The ingenuity it took to come up a way to her job faster is amazing. ua-cam.com/video/lwsH96EOuyE/v-deo.html

    The helicopter has an interesting history. I was a test evaluator for the 11th Air Assault Division, which first employed the Sikorsky Skytrain. It had a large pod underneath to carry the division HQ, and the pod could be traded out for a cargo pod. You can only imagine what it looks like with a huge container in the empty space. The 11th air assault became the 1st Cavalry Division when they went to Vietnam. I went later on and got an air medal commanding troops from a Huey, but never saw that helicopter again. i was told it could not be kept flyable in combat conditions. So it finally found a role in peacetime. I think they are fifty years old.

    Sweet! When i was in the cargo industry our best pilots were the women. They would finesse the aircraft where the men would manhandle them in the same conditions. The women had fewer squawks, tires and brakes lasted considerably longer, and they would fly in conditions that some of the men whined about. The women were pilots. Some of the men were just operators. When i get my Falcon, i am going to do my best to have an all women crew. Congrats on being a Captain. Be safe!
