An all-female C-130 crew flew a combat mission for the first time in late September. Capt. Carol Mitchell, aircraft commander; 1st Lt. Siobhan Couturier, pilot; Capt. Anita T. Mack, navigator; SSgt. Josie E. Harshe, flight engineer; and loadmasters TSgt. Sigrid M. Carrero-Perez and SrA Ci Ci Alonzo are all assigned to the 43rd Airlift Wing at Pope AFB, North Carolina, and are currently deployed to the 737th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, flying cargo and troops in and out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. "It was a great experience," Alonzo said. "However, I don't believe the Air Force should seek out all-female crews — instead, we should focus on experience."
