SIXTEEN women with degrees in engineering and military strategy will join the People's Liberation Army Air Force to train as fighter pilots following completion of their education, a senior military academy officer said yesterday.
The women, initially selected from more than 150,000 senior high school graduates, received their education at north China's Shijiazhuang Flight Academy under the PLA Air Force, said Di Liwen, a senior officer at the academy.
They will become full-fledged military pilots after tactical training, Di said.
"These pilots are of the highest quality and have solid technique," said Qu Jiang, another senior officer at the academy. All have been given both theoretical and operational training, Qu said.
Pilot Yang Jing said she hopes to become "an outstanding pilot with matchless valor."
