Back in the early 80's my airline had an all woman DC10 crew go from Honolulu to Sydney..Made a big deal out of it..Never understood the need..didn't get my name in the paper when I finished my 10 checkout...
...2 years after the trip, the Capt. ran a 727 off the taxiway in Houston into the mud..got the nickname the "mudhen"..and so it goes...
