The population of pilots in the aviation industry — including the Air Force — remains very white, and very male. And that lack of diversity worries the Air Force.

Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson told the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday that while it has no problem finding airmen who want to learn how to fly, there is a disproportionately low presence of women and minorities among those volunteering.

To try to turn this around, Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, and Doug Jones, D-Alabama, this week introduced the Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited Act, which aims to make it easier for all branches of the military to create scholarships for JROTC members to get their private pilot’s licenses.

This is what the Air Force did in 2018, when it created the JROTC Flight Academy’s Chief of Staff Private Pilot Scholarship Program. That summer, about 120 high school students received scholarships — paid for with excess Air Force funds — to attend roughly seven-week flight schools, Wilson said.

This is going to end badly. I am almost happy to see this happen.

That is a very ugly group of young women.

If women and minorities don't want to be pilots, there is something they aren't admitting. They know their limitations while pretending they don't have them.

Those are all women? Yikes!

Thanks for the picture. I will burn their face in my brain. If I ever see them piloting an aircraft I'm stepping aboard, I'll make sure to turn around and take another flight.
