The Air Force cargo aircraft pushed back from the
gate, the
loadmistress gave the passengers the usual
information regarding seat
belts, etc. Finally, she said, “Now sit back
and enjoy your trip while
your Aircraft Commander, Major Judith Campbell,
and crew take you
safely to your destination.”
Sgt. Looper, sitting in the eighth row thought
to himself, “Did I hear
her right? Is the Major a woman?” When the
cargo crew came by, he said
“Did I understand you right? Is the Major a
woman?”
“Yes,” said the crew member, “In fact, this
entire crew is female.”
“My God,” said Sgt. Looper, “I’d better have a
tranquilizer. I don’t
know what to think of all those women up there
in the cockpit.”
“That’s another thing Sarge,” she said, “We no
longer call it the
cockpit.”
“It’s the Box Office.”
