F-14D Tomcat display at Arnold AFB honors Hultgreen
This plaque is located next to the static F-14 Tomcat on display outside the Main Gate at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn. The display is dedicated to Navy 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.
