Denmark opened the door for women to become fighter pilots in the early 1990s, but, so far, it has had only one woman graduate from its three-year preliminary pilot screening program. That woman—2nd Lt. Line Bonde—now is completing the Euro-Joint Jet Pilot Training Program at Sheppard AFB, Tex. She’s not through with training yet, though. Back in Denmark she still has to spend a year in an F-16 training squadron before she can hope to move to an operational squadron.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
