Yup. She was killed by her instructors who went easy on her because the word was out that they couldn't fail women or hold them to as high a standard. One complaint of sexism and their careers were over.
She wasn’t killed by her instructors. She was killed by their superiors at high levels within the Navy that forced them to push her through. Everyone knew she wasn’t up to the task of flying F-14s, but it didn’t matter to the people who over-road the recommendations of the training officers. My guess is that all the instructors had CYA memos concerning her lack of ability and potential danger to others.
If she wasn’t ready, don’t you think she would have crashed sometime before her 59th carrier landing? 1240 hours in a fighter airframe is a helluva lot of flight time.
