CAPT Sara Joyner started at USNA in 1985. She was an instructor in 1993 when women were allowed to join combat squadrons. Hardly the fault of her flying ability to be first posted to a VC squadron then instructing eh. Quote from article....
"...Joyner flew the A-4E Skyhawk with the "Checkertails" of Composite Squadron (VC) 5 and the "Red Tails" of VC-8 before transitioning to the F/A-18A/C Hornet with the "Rough Raiders" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 125, the "Argonauts" of VFA-147. Joyner also served as executive and commanding officer of the "Gunslingers" of VFA-105...."
All flying instructors are crap anyway... except mine.
