Niloofar Rahmani is the first female pilot in the Afghani military since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
23 years old, Rahmani and her family have been forced to move several times after receiving death threats from the Taliban.
Last week, Rahmani and 9 other inspirational women from across the world were awarded the US Secretary of State's International Women of Courage Award 2015.
"Now my goal is to help my country have a bright future and stand up for females. I helped break down the doors for them after me," Rahmani said in a story published on the website of the US Air Forces Central Command.
