Personally I don't like it but it's not my place to say. If she wants to run the risk of getting shot down over enemy lines who don't like pilots much to begin with. As a woman POW I cringe at what she will be getting, over and over again.

I'm sure that she can fly just as good as a man as it's not as physical as say front line infantry.
I was basing my information on an article I read.
