Linda and I were pilots and instructor pilots in the same squadron in 1985 at the USAFA. She flew the de Havilland twin Otter parachute jump plane, while I flew gliders. There were not many women officers at the time then. It was easy to became friends with Linda as she was genuinely kind and professional officer. She had a remarkable career, supported the Women Military Aviators and the journey of the evolving opening of jobs in the Air Force for female pilots. God Bless you Linda as you soar above us in your final flight. You will be remembered and missed.
