Capt. Ouma Laouali, the first female pilot in the Nigerien air force, and U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Amy Miyajima, C-130 Hercules student pilot, listen to their instructor during a lesson at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, Dec. 4, 2019. Laouali accomplished the goals she set to achieve — becoming the Nigerien air force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Squadron Operational Detachment commander — while facing many challenges during her 2,600 flying hours as a combat tested pilot.
