 Jammu and Kashmir: Ayesha Aziz, a 25-year-old girl from Kashmir is the youngest female pilot in the country. In the year 2011, Ayesha Aziz became the youngest student pilot to get a license at the age of 15 and underwent training to fly a MIG-29 jet at Russia's Sokol airbase the following year.

further, She graduated in aviation from the Bombay Flying Club (BFC) and obtained a commercial license in 2017. It's proud moments for the family of Ayesha Aziz.

Ayesha Aziz also said that, She believed that Kashmiri women's had progressed immensely in the last few years and have done exceptionally well in the field of education.

Ayesha Said, "I think Kashmiri women are doing very well, especially in education. Every other woman in Kashmir is doing her Masters or her doctorate. People of the Valley are doing great,".

She said, Despite the odd timings required by the job and a dynamic work environment, the 25-year-old said that she was happy to take on the challenge.

"I chose this field because I have loved traveling since a very young age and was very fascinated by flying. One gets to meet so many people. This is why I wanted to be a pilot. It is quite challenging because this is not like a normal 9-5 desk job. There is no fixed pattern and I have to constantly be ready to face new places, different types of weather, and meet new people,".

"In this profession, one's mental state should be very strong because you'll be carrying 200 passengers and it is a great responsibility," she added.

She also expressed gratitude towards her parents, who have supported her and enabled her to achieve her dreams.

Ayesha said, "I am very lucky that I have parents who have supported me in everything. Without them, I would not have been able to get to where I am today. I am constantly looking for growth, on a professional and personal level. My father is my greatest role model,".

Its really a proud moment for the whole Jammu Kashmir not only JK to whole country ..
