BBC NEWS | South Asia | Pakistan gets women combat pilots

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Pakistan gets women combat pilots: "The women were part of a batch of 36 cadets who were awarded flying badges after three years of gruelling training at the PAF academy at Risalpur.

Being a fighter pilot has until now been a purely male domain. Women could join the armed forces but only for non-combat jobs like the medical corps.

Three years ago the PAF decided to allow women to train as fighter pilots."
