i cant believe my eye ! does they really drive a f-16 ?? they must be a very brave womens
I remember watching a documentry about women fighter jet pilots in air force about two years ago(2012) in that documentry its said to be there are 10 F-4 and 2 F-16 women pilots in active duty.But mind you this figure belongs to 2012 since then nearly all F-4 fighters jets are retired so number of F-4 women pilots without doubt decreased(perhaps zero now) on other hand some of them may have transferred to F-16s.

Here some short documentry about women fighter jet pilots in TAF

Women Fighter Pilots
Until the early 1990s women were disqualified from becoming fighter pilots in most of the air forces throughout the world. The exceptions being Turkey where Sabiha Gökçen became the first female fighter pilot in history in 1936 and went on to fly fast jets well into the 1950s, and the USSR during the Second World War 1942-1945 where many women were trained as fighter pilots including Lilya Litvyak who became the top scoring woman ace of all time with 12 Kills and Katya Budanova a close second with 11 kills, although both were killed in combat.In the last decade of the twentieth century a number of air forces have removed the bar on women becoming fighter pilots (see below):

Turkey - In 1936 Sabiha Gökçen became the world's first female fighter pilot. Since then, Turkey continues to train female fighter pilots. ``
