Women fly sky high!

For the first time in history, the women of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces graduated with a magnificent parachute display that decorated the skies of Katunayake on the 15th of February.

The seven women who underwent parachute training undertook paratrooper wings for the Sri Lanka Air Force with flying colours. Decorating the skies in bright and luminous tones and high-power action all the way, these women proved that they can perform brilliantly as their male counterparts.

Air Force Commander Roshan Gunatilake pinned medallions to 15 Air Force officers and 2 Navy officers who proved their worth at this momentous occasion.

Gracing our magazine cover is the lady who made the first flying attempt - Thushari Dilrukshi who stunned crowds with her amazing sky-high jump. The sky is definitely not the limit for women and anything is possible!
