All-female team launches historic mission over Afghanistan
The article title is kinda lame, but the story isn’t: two F-15E Strike Eagles laid some whoopass on the Taliban in a ground support capacity. Both pilots were women. Both weapons systems officers were women. Mission callsign: Dudette 07.
The only lame part of the story is that the mission was specifically set up to be all-female “in honor of Women’s History Month.” Feh. Better reasons:
1: The female crew just happened to be the best available crew to carry out the mission
2; They were chosen for an all-female mission not for touchy-feelie reasons, but specifically to kick the Jihadists square in the nads and have girls laugh at them.
Ah, well, just so long as great effort is made to publicize the fact that women are wiping out the Taliban. If the Afghanis can stop chopping peoples heads off over some goofball pastor in Florida having burned a Koran, perhaps they’ll hear about this and have a new reason to chop people’s heads off.
NOTE: The title of this posting came from a Fark.com thread about pink pistols being marketted to wimmins, and how embarassing it would be for a thug to get shot with something like that.
Because nothing says “I Love You” more than a Hello Kitty Sig P226 handgun
Now, a hot pink F-15E done up with Hello Kitty images would violate Odin knows how many Air Force regulations… but you gotta admit it’d be funnier’n hell to see one lay waste to some Taliban. Especially if the bombs were painted up kinda like… you know, ummm… “back massagers.” Yeah. Back massagers. And now that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is gone, a somewhat similar F-15E, but with less Hello Kitty and more Hello Sailor, would also be damned entertaining to see in action. Especially once we inevitably go to war with Saudi Arabia…

I dunno about the airplane done up with the Hello Kitty stuff would be totally illegal. Given the right environment the USAF brass might go for it. Remember that photo recon airplanes were painted pink by the RAF. Pink might even be a good cammo color for desert war, if the matter is pitched properly at the right level.
It would make one hell of a good plastic model.
It might not be exactly ‘Hello Kitty’, but would this do:

Borrowing the words of the sainted Eric Cartman… what the hell is wrong with Japanese people???
“Now, a hot pink F-15E done up with Hello Kitty images would violate Odin knows how many Air Force regulations” … how about a hot pink P-40 Warhawk?
Seeing some of the other anime stuff,some I would rather not mention
none of this suprises me.
Thinking about it now,Speed Racer was one of the first anime cartoons.
You can easily recognize an anime cartoon by how the character’s
eyes are done.
I can say that one anime I did enjoy was called “Luftwaffe 1946” DVD by
Ted Nomura. It’s a fictional story about the never built German
Triebflugel (a VTOL craft) designed during WW2. It also has very
good documentary coverage of how it was supposed to work and
the different features that were to be built into it. Truly well done.
