In 1994, a women named Kara Hultgreen had repeatedly failed her U.S. Air Force training in a flight simulator. However, there was pressure from the higher ups to get more female pilots. So they let her fly a real airplane. She crashed and died.

..."had repeatedly failed her U.S. Air Force training in a flight simulator"

Kara Hultgreen was a naval aviator. Nothing to do with the USAF.
