Could the issue possibly be yichud?

I don't know the construction of such helicopters, but my wild guess was that the soldiers feared that being in the helicopter and/or being at the helicopter's destination with a female pilot might constitute yichud, AND they feared that this yichud might be yehareg v'al yaavor thus trumping the urgent need to get the terrorist.

I am NOT saying that this WAS their question, nor am I suggesting that it is a good question, nor am I doing anything other than other than making a guess on what their question might have been.
