Lt. Kara Hultgreen.....killed due to pilot error on her first carrier landing (it may have been her first night carrier landing). Her gunner ejected safely. She would have washed out long before if she had not been given waivers repeatedly to appease the feminists. The officers who complained about this after her tragic death were forced to resign not for lying but for breaking the Navy's confidentiality.
killed due to pilot error on her first carrier landing (it may have been her first night carrier landing).Incorrect. Hultgreen flew Intruders, for which she was carrier qual'd, prior to F-14s, for which she was also carrier qual'd. She also was carrier qual'd at Pensacola while a student. She had a number of traps and she crashed in broad daylight on her final attempt.
Her gunner ejected safely.
The other crewmember was a RIO - Radar Intercept Officer, not a gunner. Hultgreen was actually the trigger puller on that bird and we know she didn't eject safely.
