Flying Girls.
Brave One's,
Sky is the limit for Pakistan’s women fighter pilots.
An ad in the Sunday paper changed a young Pakistani woman’s life and made aviation history.
The ad read: “Pakistan Air Force recruiting female’s cadets.”
Back then Ambreen Gul was 20-years old and living in Karachi. Her mother wanted her to be a doctor. She remembers her reaction when she told her she wants to fly.
“She was like: ‘You’re a girl,’” says Gul. “How will you do it? How will you fly?”
The following day Gul took the first step in proving her mother wrong. She was among the first in line at the recruitment center.
Ambreen made Pakistani history by becoming one of the country’s first female fighter pilots.
As respected officers with a 60,000-rupee-a-month salary, they are living out their dreams.
What are you waiting for?
“It’s a profession of passion. One has to be extremely motivated. I love flying. I love to fly fighter jets, to do something for my country that is very unique,” smiled Ambreen, her hair stuffed into a pony tail.
“I was just a girl who went to college and came back home, but now I’m in a great profession,” said Nadia (fighter pilots).
Like many other professions Pakistani women are also taking part in the field of flying. Women are now fighter jet pilots in Pakistan’s Air Force. In March 2006 four graduate pilots had started their career as the first women fighter pilots of Pakistan. These women proved that girls can also serve their country in the best possible way through any field. Women and men are getting equal opportunities in every field of life as to make our country prosperous. Pakistani girls must get chances to bring up their talent.
