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

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.

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

Both men and women in the U.S. Military are professional in their jobs - Bravo - I would’ve loved to study in Keesler Air Force Base in 1967.

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.

That’s my daughter! Very proud mama!

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

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.

Fantastic video!

How i love looking aircraft videos 💕

Love to see more female crews that's awesome. Safe flights for you always

THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓 💗 💛

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

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

Way to go girls!!

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

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.

Pretty awesome! 👍

Great ! Amazing!

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!

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

I flew on an RC-135 1971-1974 out of Eielson AFB Alaska. I was a signal analyst.

So cool!

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

Amazing ladies!!

Nice to see this video amazing

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

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.

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

Amazing crew !

Thanks you for sharing

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.

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

Great job

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

Way to go Air Force🇺🇸 . Let’s Fly✈️⚡️

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!

Awesome👍👍 😘😘😘

Super... I like it

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

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

Awesome!!!

Hell yes! That’s our American women protecting the country.

Super proud of our female airmen’s!!!

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

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

Showing my respect to these Women salute ♥️♥️♥️

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

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)

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

Very nice to know !!!!♡

Parabens a duas pilotas, Atenciosas, e chou, 👏👏👏👏❤👍👍

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

Beautiful

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

5:21 LMAO that sticker!

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

Amazing

It's amazing girls keep it up.

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.

I like the rc- 135 cockpit.

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.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

So cute and bravo, weldone ma'am

Professional, cool n btful

Now seen on FlightRadar24 over Eastern Europe

I so proud of those that woman

Nice. I like it

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

Mulherada maravilhosa ! Tomando conta ! Isso ai poderosas!

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

Awesome be safe everyone

This video was very suspenseful.

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.

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.

Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

Good. Keep it up

That is so cool! Much Respect!!

Well done to all cruise.

Wow amazing

Wow nice and love thi.s

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

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