Some interesting info.
Yael Rom (Hebrew: יעל רום‎; 1932–2006), born Yael Finkelstein, was one of the first female pilots of the Israeli Air Force and the first trained and certified by the force. She was co-pilot of the lead C-47 at the parachute drop at the Mitla Pass which launched the 1956 Suez War.

Presently some 1,268 women have been admitted to the Israel Air Force’s flight academy and 49 of them have earned their wings, according to data provided by the Israel Defense Forces. Roni Zuckerman – the granddaughter of two leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Revolt – was the first Israeli woman to become a combat pilot, in 2001, and now women account, on average, for 5 percent of cadets in each incoming class.

Seems we're behind the times.
