    Just like every other lady I know, always changing her outfit 3-4 times before they go out.

    LOL! I would say that might be considered offensive to the ladies on the forum, but as my wife does this constantly, it must be true! She's like Superman quick changing in a phone booth.

    In any case, here's a bit more info about Diamond Lil from the CAF: http://www.cafb29b24.org/index.php?o...d=10&Itemid=33

    Just to confirm - this one is still flying. I wish I had a photo for you, but when I was at Copperstate 2 weeks ago, after the group of fighters (flight of 7) took off in front of me, as I was entering the runway, there she was rolling up the taxiway for departure. Pretty cool to see that bearing down as I scooted out in the little bug-smasher...
