An all-female C-17 crew from Charleston Air Force Base will fly their C-17 to pick up some of members of the group known as the Women Air Force Service Pilots for their reunion in Texas.

The WASPs flew cargo missions, towed training targets, moved aircraft and did other noncombat activities to free up more male pilots for combat missions. There were 1,800 of them at the time. About 300 are sill living and 150 are expected at the reunion.
