I was just channel flipping

I was just channel flipping and stopped on the Discovery Channel, where they are doing a marathon of a show called "Dirty Jobs." Literally -- dirty jobs, where people get all sorts of messy.

The current show is about the KC-135 tanker, how they refuel other planes in-air, and how they're cleaned by "tank rats." They cleaned out the fuel tank in one of the KC-135s, replaced one of the fuel bladders that had been leaking, and then took it on a test run over Kansas.

I couldn't help but think of Becca when I noticed that the tank cleaner, the KC-135 pilot, and the fuel boom operator were all women. Becca, though I know you're not big on the military, I thought you'd appreciate that. :)

That is pretty impressive, especially considering less than 10% of the flying population is female. Its good to see things like that in the media, even with "dirty jobs"..
