I wonder if she can sing "Ride of the Valkyries"?
US Air Force Airman (AMN) Vanessa Dobos, assigned to the 58th Training Squadron (TRS), Kirkland Air Force Base, NM, looks out the crew door of a USAF HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter, equipped with a 7.62mm M134 Minigun machine gun. AMN Dobos is the first female aerial gunner in the USAF. Dobbs said she follows the philosophy an instructor told her, "A gunner`s a gunner, don`t think youre special because you`re a female."
