Hi all

Just read that some new female pilots have just finished Pilots course in the IAF. What are your opinions, can women make good cobat pilots? I for one don't see why not.

Here's a snippet:

Three new female pilots, including one combat pilot, are expected to complete the Israel Air Force's pilot course next week, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported.

The three females will join nine other female IAF soldiers who have already reached the finish line of the course."

and

"Once the current pilot course ends, 12 females will have completed the course. Apart from female combat pilots, the Air Force also has female navigators, transport pilots, combat helicopter pilots and Saar helicopter pilots.

Air Force sources said "the female pilots managed to integrate well into their squadrons, and one of them has already been discharged and is serving in reserve duty as a pilot."
