Pakistan
The dream of a 12-year-old Grade-4 Pakistani student, Naima Gul, resident of Mingora in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan came true when she became the first female pilot (honorary) of the Pakistan Army Aviation Unit when the Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani granted her wish.

Naima Gul wrote a letter to the Chief of the Army Staff who then approved the induction of Naima (who suffers from thalassaemia) as the first female pilot of No.9 Squadron of the Pakistan Army, according to a press release issued by the Inter Services Public Relations Directorate of the Pakistan Army.
