F-14D Tomcat display at Arnold AFB honors Hultgreen

Retired Navy Capt. Rosemary Mariner, the first woman to command a Navy operational aviation squadron, speaks during the March 2007 ceremony to dedicate the F-14 Tomcat static display at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., in memory of Lt. Kara Hultgreen. Hultgreen was the first female carrier-based combat fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy and the first female fighter pilot in the U.S. military to die in a crash. She died Oct. 25, 1994, when the Tomcat she was piloting experienced engine failure on final approach to an aircraft carrier and crashed into the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, Calif. Mariner passed away in January 2019. (U.S. Air Force photo by Joel Fortner)
