First all female crew on C-130 combat mission

The Second Airlift Squadron based at Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville, NC just returned home from deployment in Iraq. They made history for sending the first all female crew of a C-130 on a combat mission. It just happens that their cargo that day was delivering 150 Marines. One of the women said the Marines cheered when they announce they were flying with an all female crew.
