Britain's renowned Red Arrows aerobatic display team presented its first woman pilot on Thursday, ending a high-altitude all-male bastion.
Flight Lieutenant Kirsty Moore, 31, will perform with the Royal Air Force display team from next year until 2012 after becoming the first female fast-jet pilot to advance far enough in their flying career to qualify.
Moore said: "It's an awesome job. To be told I had been selected was one of the best days of my life. It was incredible.
