PAKISTAN AIR FORCE WOMEN PILOT

Pakistan Air Force created history on March 30, 2006 when four females: Saba Khan, Nadia Gul, Mariam Khalil and Saira Batool received their flying wings after three and a half years of intensive training, breaking into an all-male bastion of Pakistan's armed forces.
Indeed it was a red-letter day for feminists all over the world. Both the national and the international media gave extensive coverage to the event. Even the recipient of the coveted "Sword of Honour" got ignored in the melee. Nearly all the National dailies carried on their front-page the coloured pictures of the newly commissioned female pilots in their flying regalia occupying the cockpit of a T-37 jet trainer at the PAF Academy. At least four of the five leading English newspapers carried editorials, lauding the achievement.

Go back to your so called history book. The Prophet's wives took were extremely active in society and in helping the wounded in battle. Hazrat Ayesha even went as far as to take an active part in battle and she is one of the greatest scholars of Islam to have related the most Hadith so dont try to say that she didnt know anything because she was a great authority on the religion in her time.

am an Indian , and its nice to see the pakistan a conservative muslims nation has a women pilot ,, i hope all muslim country should promote such initiatives regardless of islam

With the exception of Hanna Reitsch, and in my experience, women pilots are never better than mediocre. That's tolerable in civilian flying, but not good enough for military aviation.

Great, this is the way to go. Proud of them all. We hope more women will follow
