How common are female F-16 (or other fighter ) pilots in your country ?

Here in Norway there have only been two as far as I know. I am not sure if we have anyone currently flying the F-16 in Norway. I know one of them is not flying F-16 anymore but has gone over to rotors and is flying the Sea King rescue hellicopter. The first female F-16 pilot in Norway got her wings in 1992 (the one that is currently flying the Sea King)

In Norway of course, the market for fighterpilots are smaller than most other countries and is a pretty exclusive club wether you are female or male.

Mette Grøtteland who got her wings in 1992 is currently flying the Sea King:

and

Marianne Mjelde ( Don't know if she is still flying )

I believe Turkey has some.

There's plenty of countries with female Viper drivers. Norway, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, USA, ROKAF,...

Here's some of the information you'll find on them on F-16.net:
