I'm watching about the red arrows and I know they are not fighter jets.....however I've always heard that women can't be fighter pilots due to the altitude and it affects them more than men.... Am I being blonde in believing that this is true??  |

Usaf had women fighter pilots since the first gulf war. It may be that at one time the rationale given was on the physiological grounds you state but they must've overcome it somehow. |

No it's not true. I am ex military and I have met a few female fighter pilots. Although I haven't met any, I think the Israeli Forces have had women in the air for a long time |

Not quite but still not what he claimed. Or rather who he claimed. Or maybe he just didn't see himself ask that clearly. Whatever it was, wasn't for me. Even though i did really kinda like him. |
