About Me

She served in the United States Air Force for eight years as a command pilot of a WC-130. She was one of the first four women in the Air Force to become a C-130 aircraft commander. She flew into numerous typhoons and hurricanes, search and rescue missions, and participated in various multi-service exercises in the Pacific. In her 32 years at Delta Air Lines, she flew the DC-9, B727, B737, B757, B767, B767-400, and B777.
