Condolence: We knew you when you were just plane old "Linda". You never really changed. "Fly like the wind", Linda. We'll all see you at some point again........... and have a great party when we do!

Condolence: Thinking of Linda on this sad day. Linda and I played AF and Armed Forces Volleyball together. She was a great teammate. A quiet leader who always made any team better. Even though we had lost touch with each other, I thought of her fondly. RIP Tag, you will be missed and the world is a better place from your many contributions.

Condolence: On behalf of the Home Builders Association of Western Michigan, the loss of Linda is a tremendous loss for all veterans. She inspired our group, young and old, with her heartwarming and loving telling of Honor Flight missions, and she provided the inspiration for a builder veterans night at the Air Zoo in October. We will miss her.

Condolence: I write you with heartfelt condolences at this difficult time.

Condolence: Dear Linda, The world was a better place with you in it. You quietly, competently, and assuredly acquired positions of greater rank and responsibility. No fanfare. No self-promotion. I enjoyed bragging about you to male pilot friends as you continually surpassed their achievements. I'll never forget your stories of flying on 9/11, bringing VIPs back from the Midwest, and the eerie sensation of being practically alone in the airspace. Your retirement from the military was just like you...wearing combat fatigues, no huge pomp and circumstance, just a dignified ceremony and celebration. You made a great transition from military to civilian life, and made a difference everywhere you went. I hope you were having fun that last day. We already miss you. You have been taken too soon. You were a stalwart of Women Military i

Condolence: It was truly an honor to serve with Gen McTague. We met early on in our careers through Women Military Aviators. May your family find comfort in knowing she was well loved and a life well lived. Her legacy is a testimony to that life and the love of her family.

Condolence: I first met Linda in the 1980s, as colleagues in Women Military Aviators, and was immediately impressed with her ability to make everyone she met feel valued. With quiet, confident leadership, she blazed a trail for women in aviation. I’m honored to have known her, and will join Col Hamilton in a toast! Blue skies and CAVU weather!

Condolence: 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.

Condolence: God bless you all - may peace and comfort find you during this difficult time.

Condolence: Thank you for your service. It is a distinct honor and privilege to have known you and to be so close to your family.... We love you and know that you are on your most important assignment to date in the Lords Kingdom. The legacy you have left is evident throughout everyone you have blessed through fellowship, friendship and sacrifice! Godspeed General McTague! ✝💛🇺🇸

Condolence: I was just getting to know Linda thru The Ladies of Harley group. I admired her accomplishments, her humble nature, her smiling personality. She is gone too soon and will be missed . RIP Linda

Condolence: RIP Ma'am your legacy will never be forgotten.

Condolence: I met Linda in the 80's when she played softball with friends of mine - but had recently gotten reacquainted through the Ladies of Harley chapter, first when she gave a presentation we all attended and then when she joined our group. While I did not have an opportunity to ride with her I did enjoy several dinners with her including last Wednesday night. She always had that smile on her face, almost as if she had a secret she was trying not to give away. A life gone too soon but oh so well lived. She will be mourned and missed by all but her spirit and attitude and love of life should serve as an inspiration for all of how to make the journey on earth. Godspeed and till we meet again, General.

Condolence: I have know Linda since we were kids. We went to school together. Attended Battle Creek Central together where we played basketball, volleyball and softball. We attended Kellogg Commuity College where we played volleyball again together. I will never forget her wonderful sense of humor and her devotion to her friends. She was a women of integrity, a trailblazer for all who had the privilege of knowing her. RIP my friend.

Condolence: I grew up in the same neighborhood with Linda as kids. We hung out some, played catch and in high school were on the same volleyball and softball team. I come from an Air Force family and could not be more proud of her accomplishments. God Speed Linda!!

Condolence: I was fortunate enough to get to know Linda when we both attended Undergraduate Pilot Training in the Air Force. As the only two woman in a large class of nearly 100, we shared a kitchen with adjoining rooms. She was an incredibly intelligent, amiable, stable rock in a time of great pressure. The world has lost one of it's best.

Condolence: Linda leaves a legacy of strength, friendship, devotion to duty, and genuine concern for others. I first met her at the Air Force Academy in the 80's. Her ability to bring out the best in people, and willingness to go that extra distance to insure their success was admirable. She championed the advancement of women in the military, always leading by example. Her promotion to Brigadier General was a proud day for those who knew her professionally and personally. She will be missed, and remembered for her good humor and love of life. I honor her with a toast from a silver flask. Farewell dear friend; God be with you as you take your final flight.

Condolence: I was thrilled and amazed to know Linda through WMA. She was exceptional, and fought for and blazed the path for so many women aviators. But also she was funny, generous with her time, and genuinely happy to share time, experiences, and laughter with her friends. Sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Condolence: I've known Linda since the early 80s when we met at a Women Military Aviators conference. She was always open and ready to listen. We shared our trials and laughs over the years. We were all so proud of her when she was promoted to General and commanded the 113 Wing, blazing yet another trail for women in the military. Her quiet strength lifted us all and gave us courage to continue to serve with humility and grace. We'll miss you!

Condolence: I've known Linda since we were both instructors at the USAF Academy in the mid-80s She was a trailblazer among women military pilots. Many don't realize that she jeopardized her career by fighting for the repeal of the Combat Exclusion Law and by going toe to toe with USAF leadership to open up combat aircraft to women. Linda was a true leader of quiet courage, a pillar of the Women Military Aviators association, mento and inspiration to many, and most of all, a really loyal friend. Blue skies and Tailwinds, Linda!!
