We just heard that four more female Israel Air Force pilot course students graduated yesterday and received the rank of officer — including one who’s a combat squadron!
If you haven’t already done so, be sure to watch Touching the Sky on IZZY, a feature documentary about female Israeli soldiers who’ve had the right to apply to flight school for more than 20 years, but only few have earned their wings, with the issue of gender still a major topic for cadets, officers and within society at large.
The film follows the young women who made it to the Israel Air Force’s most exclusive program, during the first six tense and intense months.
