ARTICLE: IAF women pilots shining in Sikkim
Women pilots of the Indian Air Force (IAF) have been in the thick of action the past week, carrying out relief and rescue operations in earthquake-hit Sikkim from this air base in north Bengal.
Gratifying to read about the success of women in a fairly traditional society such as India (while acknowledging that the USAF didn’t lift its own restrictions on women in combat aviation roles until 1993). Was surprised to discover that even Pakistan has female F-16 pilots, and Afghanistan is following suit (although they won’t have F-16 pilots because Afghanistan won’t get F-16s, no matter how many times they demand them)…
