...Lieut. Junior Grade Erica Niedermeier became the first woman to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles from a warship in combat, helping send 13 into southern Iraq.

"The hard part isn't flying to Chicago, it's getting around on the ground," says a veteran airline pilot. "And the controllers are so rushed you don't ask for help."
