airwomen
Women who fly
Airwomen is the plural of airwoman—a female member of an air force, particularly the British Royal Air Force.
The term parallels airmen but specifies female personnel: The airwomen completed their training at the base.
Usage has declined as gender-neutral terms like aircrew or aviators gain preference.
