Airman

An airman is a member of an air force or air arm of a nation's military. In some services it can refer to any service member, equivalent to the term soldier or sailor, and in some it is also a specific enlisted rank. Both men and women with this rank are called airmen. Some services have replaced the term airman with the gender-neutral term aviator. Airman may also refer to civilian aircraft pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians. For example, the United States Federal Aviation Administration has used the term airman to refer to a number of aviation-related job titles in its civil aviation regulations. The term airwoman is occasionally used in both military and civilian contexts.
