Airman Vanessa Dobos of the 58th Training Squadron poses with a Gatling gun at Kirtland Air Force base in New Mexico August 7, 2002. Dobos is to become the first woman aerial gunner in the USAF, with an assignment to a search and rescue Pave Hawk helicopter, when she graduates from technical training in a few weeks, performing a combat duty that was formerly closed to women.

Well, thanks for the link. But Airman Dobos only has that "badass gun" as long as the boys let her use it. Like those guys with the F-15s...nice airplane, but it's only a loaner.

I'd rather see her have some power of her own...:-) Probably not anything full-auto, though, those things are hellishly expensive to feed

Is that a photo of her in the helo? Looks like it might be an AC-130....I didn't know they had anythinng that nasty on a helo.

<i>And</i> she's kinda hot. Though I'm sure if she maintains a weapon like that, and hangs with the "big boys," she's a bit too butch for me. Oh well...

Too bad for you. :-)

Evidently the weapon pictured is an M-134 minigun, manufactured by GE, and standard equipment on Pave Hawk. I suspect the same weapon was on the helo in "The Matrix".
