The three women pilots will fly military jets after completing a strenuous training programme within three weeks. "The present consideration is to put them to Mig 21 Bison squadron. Our opinion is that it will sharpen their skills as the aircraft has more manual features than other sophisticated aircraft," Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa said today, reports PTI.

They will initially kick-start their journey with MIG-21 Bisons and later venture into flying other jets.
