All Female Flight Crew, U.S. Air Force RC-135 

That’s my daughter! Very proud mama!

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.

Proud of these brave women soldiers, thank you for your services to humanity. God bless you all. 🙏🏼❤️

These ladies make my heart melt. Beautiful and courageous. ❤️

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.

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.

This airline truly deserved.I had flown with this for the last flight jeddah to Manila last year and the services i can give million Stars ..☺👍❤

.Mult respect pentru acești maeștri ai aerului!

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

You should be proud of your daughter!!! We love all the men and women that serve! My hubby is a Marine.

Fantastic video!

Very good to see ladies doing job expecting only men can do.God bless them.

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

Dont see any females, see only Professionals! Good job ladies.

Girls - mechanics and pilots do very serious and responsible work! I respect you

Great video thanks for sharing 😊

Can't call it a Cockpit anymore, it's now a Box Office.

Meanwhile around 300 men maintain the air craft for this little show to take place

The ladies are taking over and doing the job. Proud of you all.

Go get 'em, ladies! American fliers everywhere depending on you. We're proud of the job you're doing and glad you're out there. Keep 'em flying!

Now seen on FlightRadar24 over Eastern Europe

Con un Comandante e primo ufficiale donna ai comandi io viaggerei molto tranquillo. Complimenti

Умницы!! Люблю и уважаю!!...)))

Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

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.

WOW!!! That flightdeck sure has changed since I flew one of those 40 years ago. Kudos to the ladies for keeping those birds flying strong.

About time. Way to go girls!

Nice video!

RC-135 is one of my FAV recon aircraft right up there with the E3 AWAC also cool to see a female-only crew!

Que bonito ver a Ellas manejando ese grande avión. 🙏🏼

This is the aircraft my dad flew on for 20 years, many as a Crew Chief!

PIC is a captian. Navigator is a major. On that flight the captain is the boss!

How i love looking aircraft videos 💕

Funny that this video pops up today, after we just had multiple fatal crashes in the last couple weeks. Diversity is our strength!

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)

Thanks For Sharing This Video

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.

I do not know how many scoundrels there are in this planet earth. This video maker "MOTORIZADO" is one of the scoundrels.

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.

Amazing , highly respect and admiration for these women who is so brave , sacrifice their life for our country God bless them

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!

Proud of you ladies for you fabulous service

US Air Force chicks rock! Very professional. Way to go girls! 💋💕👍🇺🇸.

My father flew the first generation of the KC135, it was his favorite of many military aircraft that he flew.

Super proud of our female airmen’s!!!

Super fort du monde..! J'aime trop Américain !♥️♥️♥️

That officer seemed very thorough on inspection of that aircraft, she seems to be very responsible and probably one of our best pilots

Shucks girls! Thought I'd get to see the roll and takeoff but awesome video just the same. Some very serious faces during the preflight. Thanks to each and every woman on that airplane for the outstanding service you provide serving our country. Men only: Some good advice to you, always say Yes Ma'am! Lol

This video was very suspenseful.

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.

THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓 💗 💛

That's great. Next we can make a big deal if we can get an all male crew.

Great American ladies pilot Royal salute

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

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.

Way to go girls!!

I like the rc- 135 cockpit.

💪🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸💪🏻 ❤️ God Bless Our Nations Troops and Commanders🙏 Navy, AF, Marines, appreciating for all your work 🤝

Tout une base de jolies femmes pilotes magnifique grand respect bravo l'Amérique..👍💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

God bless you and thank you for your service. We are the land of the free, because of the brave.

3:27 - to the end, she's amazing 👏🏻❤️

I just LOVE this.... YOU GO LADIES....So GREAT to see them flying these planes and long overdue!!!!

Amazing

Well, I am so glad to see this take place! I would have loved to work with a female crew 50 years ago!

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.

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.

Wow... May God bless the woman's

A Soldier is a Soldier, every Soldier makes the same promise. Rock on Soldiers 🙏🏽❤️

Che brave queste bimbe soldatesse!!!

Way to go Air Force🇺🇸 . Let’s Fly✈️⚡️

My mother was born at Offutt in 1937. It was Fort Crook then.

parking will certainly be the most challenging part

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.

Great ! Amazing!

The only thing that would've made this video better would've been seeing the plane take off

God bless America, a land of equal opportunities.

In this day and age it shouldn't be news that a plane has an all female crew.

Showing my respect to these Women salute ♥️♥️♥️

Women are smart and brave! US Airforce servicewomen keep marching forward, the future belongs to you!

Wow these women are badasses. Such a great reputation to be in those cockpit as women. Imagine being able to fly those tons of steel up.

I so proud of those that woman

Nice.

Girls are so beautiful and they do a beautiful job for us

Very nice job, if we hope anything it will be successful.

Pretty awesome! 👍

The turn at the ending... didn't expect that.

i'd fly with them as long as i had a parachute handy

Great job!!! Salute!

Hi Very nice Very nice iLoveu my

Granddaughter just released. She was crew chief on a reaper. Loved it.

Amazing crew !

They are not beach bunnies. Notice that they are wearing heavy winter uniforms.

Great job

5:50 LOL trying to push the GPU with the brakes still on

Bao nhiêu năm nữa VN mới có được một con người như thế.

Well done to all cruise.

Brave women really I praise them for their competence & US Air force Command for being bold and trusting them with the major task & responsibility .keep it up.soldiers are always bold & brave in undertaking risky tasks But these are their Governments which throw them into greater risk through unjudicious employment abroad without unclear National goals & objectives.let us hope sanity & wisdom prevails in future decisions by US.

5:21 LMAO that sticker!

Wow amazing

Go, girls! I used to tell my daughter's "Girls can do anything."
