....Navy Lieutenant Kara Hultgreen....I hope her name is never forgotten.....yes, Patsy Schroeder basically threatened the Navy brass that Kara “WOULD” get her Wings of Gold and become a full-fledged Naval Aviator, despite her proven and repeated deficiencies during her flight training... unfortunately, Kara is no longer with us to discuss this matter further.....
“Kara Hultgreen died just months after she was certified for combat, when her F-14 Tomcat crashed into the sea on final approach to USS Abraham Lincoln, October 25, 1994.”
That might be the stuff that happens when you certify a pilot based on political agenda instead of skill.
A pity Patsy Schroeder wasn’t riding in the 2nd seat. I wonder who was when Hultgreen flew her plane into the Pacific.
