One of the US Army's first female AH-64 Apache combat helicopter pilots, Leslie Herlick

Herlick entered flight school shortly after the U.S. military lifted the ban on women flying combat helicopters in 1993 and attended flight school at Fort Rucker, Alabama, from fall 1994 to May 1995. Following graduation in 1995, she was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), becoming the first female warrant officer in her battalion.
