Ayesha Farooq was the first woman fighter pilot in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
Ayesha Farooq hails from Hasilpur, a district in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. She achieved the landmark of becoming Pakistan's first female fighter pilot, breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field.
While other women served in the PAF before her, Ayesha Farooq was the first to qualify as a fighter pilot, actively flying combat missions. This accomplishment represents a significant step forward for gender equality in Pakistan's armed forces.
