For an old (1970 - 1974) RC135 crewmember (linguist) I'm delighted to see a female crew. When I served, the WAF were few and far between, and virtually all administrative, or nurses. Couldn't be happier to see my alma matter continue to evolve.
Great video, thank you for sharing! My Uncle was a linguist on the only RC-135E when it was lost at sea in 1969. I've had a lifelong fascination with the entire "rivet" series of aircraft and the 135's in general. Just because I'm a numbers guy...Rivet Amber (RC-135E) had a 7MW radar that weighed over 35k lbs.
I was a radio operator on one of these with a air refuelling squadron. 68th. Lake Charles, LA 1956 1957. Gen Lamay did away with the old radio operators. No more HF equipment. Changed to single side band transceivers. I became a radio operator 1955 early. Air sea rescue goose Bay, Labrador. Several aircraft.
I couldn't care less about the gender, color, or appearance of any of these crew, so long as they can do the job and receive the training they need to do it. God Bless America!
obgraham all male white ppl are racist and sexist? an all black woman aircrew would’ve been more politically correct. Absolutely disgusting in times passed that white males got away with such things! Western worlds should’ve learned from the Muslims and Indians and Chinese on how to be politically correct and equal to all. Shame on the west! Lol. Absolutely disgusting says CNN on the absolute racist white taunting lunatics that we are.
I came from ex-soviet union and I really respect when Women in US and in Western Countries are so my much respected! Thank you for all your job and for your professionalism! YOU ARE THE BEST
Same here. Last flight deck I saw was a 135 A model water wagon. They're all glass cockpits now. Is this a Rivet Joint bird ? Friend of mine from Minot crewed Rivet Joint. Bill Howard.
I flew on a C141 from Dover AFB to Ramstein AB Germany in the mid 80s on a hop and the crew chief told us passengers that it was a first. The plane ride was just another day in the life of the best Air Force in the world. The all female crew did themselves proud. All of us passengers were impressed but not shocked. Never forgot about this flight.
My best part is the ground crews communicated with the pilots with sight language, both of them have a connection right the last minutes take off. Salute you all US Air Force Ladies, God Bless our arm forces.
I flew on that plane over 35 years ago. It's totally different looking inside and out. Even the bus bringing out the crew is so different. I bet the flight meals are better than the cold fried chicken in my day. It gives me a wonderful feeling to see this. Thank you.
From an old recce pilot -- well done, ladies, it's about time. Unfortunately, back in my day, we had no female crew members. Our loss. RC-135D & Rivet Ball (the original 59-1491 We All Walked Away)
Once flew from Southampton to Alderney in a little trilander, with a lady pilot, in tricky weather conditions. The younger (male) crew didn’t want to fly, but this pilot did a superb job, skimming just below the cloud and turning up into the cloud on a 180 and down onto the runway, just a moment before it disappeared in lowering mist. It was a canny and expert bit of flying.
When I was in, the RC-135 "Rivet Joint" aircraft was designed by an Air Force E-8 (Chief Select). Only missions in the military where the mission commander was often a senior NCO who had override authority over the flight crew. At first didn't sit well with the pilots, MG Doyle Larsen set them straight on who's running the mission. Pilots to fly and 'backenders' were in charge.
How amazing !!! Thank you ladies so much for your service it makes me so proud of the super chicks you are 👍🏼💜 Thank you for this video !!! Prayers to all the families 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
Training makes all the difference,because every start-up and take off involves risk. These girls appear thoroughly professional. I noted a Major among the crew,while a Captain was Pilot in Command. It looked like a training flight for Navigators and Flight Engineers. Also I would like to wish the Ground Crew Chief Good Luck in her career,and expect to see rank chevrons adding up on her sleeves. She's doing a grand job,and earns a great deal of trust. Lives depend on her skill and aptitude.
Beauty and competency, the captain has it all. This is what truly makes this country great, it is diversity and opportunity and not privilege. These women are true pioneers and heroes for all of us. Great job, god's in your quest to be the best the US Air Force has to offer (quest of all airmen). Ladies, you are definitely something to be proud of.
As a PROFESSIONAL flight engineer of 35 years experience in military and civil aviation including instructing and examining I have no problem at all with female pilots, many of whom could show male pilots how it’s done. However, the woman doing that external walkround would be right back in the squadron if I’d been checking. The object of that inspection is to check the whole of the aircraft and not spend it chatting with the flight mechanic and occasionally flicking a flashlight at the odd bit for the camera
Mike 938 wow that’s a lot of talk from someone who doesn’t know the fucking airplane. She is checking the aircraft to her best ability. The RC-135 has Big Crunch points around the gear and engines on walk around. A majority of the check is on the inside. Also they are old old jets. The Mx crew has the most knowledge on what’s been happening with the aircraft, as well as what is on the 781 form.

I think the hate in here is unwarranted. If they can do the job, who cares how they look. These girls have probably heard that their whole life. Yet they chose to do something different and join the military.
Wow. Superb video. I worked as a civilian on military 707s way back in 1984. Our birds had old JT3 engines and clockwork instruments from the 1960s. They fly for Omega Air now as backup tankers for the USAF. These planes look like spaceships in comparison. I would love to see one up close again. I was really skinny. The idea was to grab as much salvage as you could. We had a few lady mechanics too, but nothing like this. I just work on old cars nowadays, but always dream about working on 707s once again. Ladies, drop me a line when you can and let's talk 707 together.
@@mdd1963 I had a deployment [to "somewhere" in the middle east] that had the backend crew all female (or close to it), except ASEs and AMS... The only logical solution in that scenario is to turn the heat up to an uncomfortable temperature to force mandatory flight suit top removal, thusly lower the temperature and observe the results.
It was a RC-135 flying not very far away that the Soviet PVO was attempting to shoot down when they ended up shooting the South Korean KAL007 Boeing 747 by mistake, in September 1983. The SU-15 that was vectored didn't even bothered to make a visual confirmation before firing. The Soviets were so despicable - as always - that they denied any knowledge of the aircraft's fate and even participated in the search. But the RC-135 recorded the whole GCI communications... 🖕 Unlike the RC-135, the 747 did enter Soviet prohibited airspace, presumably because of a wrong handling of its Inertial Navigation Sistem, which allowed for a huge deviation North. Anyway, there are no excuses to such a killing.
