    Loaned to Arnold AFB, Manchester-Tullahoma, TN.
    Dedicated in memory of Lt. Kara Hultgreen, U.S. Navy. Hultgreen was the Navys first female carrier-based combat fighter pilot. She was killed in Oct. 1994 when her F-14 experienced engine failure on a final approach and crashed into the Pacific. Her crewman survived. The flight was part of training operations in preparation for deployment to the Persian Gulf. Hultgreen was assigned to the Black Lions of Fighter Squadron 213 aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The F-14 dedicated in her honor has been painted to identify that squadron.
