First Female Combat Air Force Team Completes Mission in Afghanistan

Women pilots in general are a rarity but women combat pilots are even more elusive. So what are the odds you can find an entire team of women combat pilots?

Pretty dang good.

Women’s History received another journal entry last month when four women completed the first U.S. Air Force combat mission by a team of all female airmen.

Heck yeah they did!

Mega kudos to Maj. Tracy Schmidt, Capt. Kimberly Volk, Maj. Christine Mau and Capt. Jennifer Morton. Check out the video below to hear them talk about their roles in combat and the reactions they encounter when ground troops discover the pilot is a woman.
