Red Arrows and Patrouille de France display their female pilots from Unusual Attitude by Kieran Daly
The RAF and Armee de l'Air are of course playing down the significance of this, but to any of us of a certain age it's highly significant - in an entirely good way. Apparently coincidentally, the UK's Red Arrows and France's Patrouille de France are each fielding their first female pilots this year. In an ideal world this wouldn't in fact be of any great significance, but in the real world it's been a huge struggle getting to this stage and you can only salute the ladies involved.

Oprah: "It's Great To Have A Private Jet" from AVwebFlash Current Issue
We can practically hear the cheering in Wichita from here -- Oprah Winfrey said in a speech to the graduating class at Duke University on Sunday that "it's great to have a private jet." With CEOs across the country shamefaced about corporate excess, and aviation workers paying the price in thousands of lost jobs, could Oprah single-handedly make it OK again to fly? "Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn't great is lying to you," she told the grads. "That jet thing is really good." Whether her enthusiasm will turn the tide and make private jets fun again is still an open question -- it could make things even worse. While The Wall Street Journal's "Wealth Report" blog found it encouraging --"Perhaps [the private-jet industry] should forget all the boring arguments about jobs and productivity and efficiency and run a picture of Oprah..." -- others were less impressed. According to Perez Hilton's blog, the message was not a positive one: "Lesson to learn, graduates: It's good to be Oprah and sucks to be everyone else!"
