You know, I'll bet you they were just going to have some male airman hold the thing and then a lightbulb goes off and the photographer says, 'what about that cute blond?'. Its the military version of the car show.

Released Aug. 7, 2002
KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. (AFMCNS) -- Airman Vanessa Dobos, 58th Training Squadron here, will be the Air Force’s first female aerial gunner when she graduates from her technical school in a few weeks. As a gunner and member of a search and rescue crew on the H-60 helicopter, she’ll perform a combat duty that was formerly closed to women in the Air Force. Dobbs said she follows the philosophy an instructor told her, "A gunner's a gunner, don't think you're special because you're a female." Her first duty station will be Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

Good thing the Air Force isn't quite as invested in gender sterotypes as you are. :-)
