Re: 47 - The reason I asked for sources, is the posted article has:

“By the time she died, Lt. Hultgreen had more than 1,240 hours of flying time in the F-14 Tomcat and had landed on a carrier some 58 times, 17 times at night.”

So there is a discrepancy on the hours you claim she had in the F-14.

From this article: "Confessions Of A Navy F-14 Fleet Pilot Turned F-5 Aggressor"

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/27889/confessions-of-a-navy-f-14-fleet-pilot-turned-f-5-aggressor From the article:

"The treatment she received after her death has always stayed with me as one of the greatest injustices witnessed during my naval career. Our XO replicated the mishap 100 times in the simulator and crashed 97 of them. "

At the time of her death, she was a pack-player behind the boat, meaning that she was solidly in the middle of the squadron’s landing grades. Yet, as one of the first woman to fly Tomcats in the fleet, and the first to die doing so, she was held as an example of the supposed error of women in combat.

This is where media fails. It starts with the real info that she had 1,240 hours flying time, then some ignorant reporter assumes it is all in the F-14, and then the falsehood gets repeated. She had just switched to the F-14 and just finished training. It doesn't even make sense it would be 1,240. QUESTION EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY - it is a tower of lies and coverups.

The Navy said Hultgreen had logged 217 hours in the front, or pilot, seat of the F-14 Tomcat.
