No one claimed that there were ''anywhere near as many'' ... but there
are SOME, and maybe if there wasn't a pre-established
assumption/presumption about why we're there, you might observe that
there are more of us who feel that way (about flying) than you think!


Noone claimed, as you imply, that there are none.

My flying club has about fifty members. Of them, only one is a woman.
As it turns out, her husband is also a pilot, and a member of the same club.

Of my personal friends, I know only a few women pilots; one is even an
aerobatics champion. As it turns out, none of my personal male friends
are aerobatics pilots.

I've flown with four female CFIs, but probably close to twenty or thirty
male CFIs. Where there's a choice I try to fly with the women, figuring
that a woman who is trying to make it in any male-dominated field is
likely to have more passion for it than the men.

Yes, they are out there. Nobody said nay. Perhaps they are less
visible than their numbers would dictate.
