David13 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think this is rather good photography. Some of you have seen these photos, some have not. I enjoyed seeing them again. dc http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2011/10/chicks-with-guns/ Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Nice David! Hmmmm, only noticed three or four guns in all of those pictures though. I'll have to look again. Having worked in Monte Sereno, not surprised by the expensive furnishings and woodwork in the fifth photo. Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Just a damn good pilot. If she were in the US, one of our members would have trained her at Fort Rucker. Link to comment

Marty, I was working at in processing at Ft. Benning, Ga in 1970. I processed a British citizen who was washed out of chopper school at Ft. Rucker. I asked him, since he joined the US Army voluntarily why he just didn't go back to England. He replied that his wife was a US citizen and he wanted to be able to travel here in the future. BTW he said that due to the war winding down, they were looking for any excuse to get rid of you. He said he was washed out because in morning inspection his gig line wasn't straight. I know that the Infantry OCS at Benning was dropping people left and right. Including offering early outs to guys one week away from being commissioned a second luey. Those were strange times. hijack off Link to comment

A very, very small percentage of the population have the skills and reactions to fly Apaches. Good on her! Link to comment

Again, just an observation/impression. Link to comment

Why the author or editor of the article only chose to show right handed white women is a different question Link to comment

SteveHebert Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Captain Joanna Gordon, big gun! Pat Their callsign is "Ugly". Doesn't quite fit that one huh? God bless the troops, all of them! Link to comment
szurszewski Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 ...and, in at least one case, obviously untrained in the proper handling of a firearm.... Are you referring to the first photo where she looks like she is about to put a hole in what I can only imagine is a very nice floor? Also, if the book is a bit more diverse I would like to take a look - I'll have to keep an eye out next time I'm in the local bookshop. Link to comment
MacGruber Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I enjoyed the photography for being good photography. I don't feel the need to look for a reason that it might offend someone. There's more than enough 'stuff' going on right now to be pissed about. Link to comment

Perhaps they were referring to the aircraft, not the pilot???? ( Sure wish he had a :dunno GIF) Link to comment

elkroeger Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Found this last night after watching a Patty Hearst documentary. If it's not the crowning glory of a "chics with guns" thread, then it's damn close :-) Link to comment

Sonor Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I see a number of women at my gun club shooting, but I would not dare take their pictures without their permission. Since they shoot better than me, don't think I'll ask either. Link to comment
moshe_levy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If you guys want to see hot chicks with guns, just "like" IDF Girls on Facebook. Or look them up on Google. There are no finer examples anywhere. -MKL Link to comment
