Female's with confirmed kills, or killed
Hi Guys
Hope you don't mind my intrusion from the Historic Forum, but i'm putting together a presentation regarding the contribution women have made to military aviation since WW2, and one aspect of this is, i need to know if there are, or have been any confirmed kills by female pilots since the obvious successes by the Russian women pilots in the Second World War ? Converseley, have any female military pilots fallen victim to their adversaries ? Thankyou in anticipation |

Ethipoian female Su-27 Pilot (Capt. Aster Tolossa) downed an Ertriean MiG-29UB with cannon fire on 26 Feb 1999. First jet air-to-ait kill by female.

i think the Ethiopian example is just about it for a female with confirmed kills for modern air combat.
since we're on women pilots, i found this posted by bobcat [Picture Courtesy: DPR, PAF] Comment deleted-there's no room for underhanded racial comments on this forum. Modimus Maximus Last edited by SOC; 4th November 2005 at 06:46. |

I don't believe any women have shot down any aircraft in US
fighters, but we've had numberous women flying combat missions over Afghanistan and Iraq. There's a B2 with a female pilot and copilot - called the "unmanned stealth bomber". Also, quite a few female A10 pilots. A couple of them are over here in NC. Cute ones, too. I remember one little blond girl's callsign was "killerchick". One of these girls was shot up over Iraq, and managed to land the A10 safely with just manual controls - something it wasn't meant to do. The manual controls were just meant to allow the pilot to bring the crippled aircraft closer to base before ejecting, as it only controls the trim control surfaces. Tough girl. Gotta like the idea of a girl pioting a warthog... There were a few F14 pilots dropping bombs over Afghanistan. I wonder how the terrorists would feel if they knew they were being bombed by a woman. |
