Navy plane crash investigated
NATIONAL
SAN DIKGO (AP) —
One of the nation's firs!
female combat pilots, a 29
year-old who loved flying
"above everything." was
believed killed when her
Navy F-14 fighter jet
i rnshed in the ocean.
l.t Kara S. Hultgreen'* plaint went down Tues
day whilct shit was trying to land on the aircraft
i-arrter Abraham Line oln during a training oxer
ciae.
Hitliiopters searched for her body Wednesday
Her cnewmata, who ejected from the plane, was
quickly rescued with minor injuries.
The clause of the crash was under investigation
and the Navy released few details A spokesman
said he did not know if Hultgreen had ejected.
Hultgreen, who grew up in Toronto and San
Antonia, had recently completed training on the F
14 with another woman and they were the first to
lie assigned to fly it in a combat squadron.
The Pentagon lifted combat restrictions on
female pilots in April Hultgreen is one. of
nine women combat pilots in the Navy. Ten other
women have completed combat-related training
for the Navy.
"It always surprises me when people ask me
‘Why do you want to do this?' And 1 think. ‘God
who doesn’t want to do this? This is the greatest
job in the entire world,"' Hultgreen said in an
interview after she qualified to fly the F-14 in July
The Air Force has si* female combat pilots and
seven more who have completed training The
Army has 18 female combat pilots One female
combat pilot is now in training with the Marines
Dipt Mark Grissom, commander of the fighter
wing of the U S Pacifn Fleet, said he didn't think
the i rash will hurt women's chances of moving
into combat pilot slots
"She did a very fine job. Every person in that
squadron feels a great sense of loss,” he said.
Multgreen's family tried not to worry about her
involvement in combat flight training, said Mult
green's grandmother, Elizabeth Spears
"I think we tried not to dwell on that," sho said.
"Kara was very beautiful and very outgoing and
very happy and loved flying That was the thing
that she loved above everything.”
Multgreen. the youngest of three girls, moved
from Canada to San Antonio shortly before high
school so her mother could attend law school
there After graduating from college and attend
ing officer and flight school, she began flying Navy
training planes and bombers.
"Even though we couldn't go to combat
squadrons at the time, we still got the exact same
training as the guys," she said in the interview.
Frustrated, she began writing letters to con
gressmen urging them to allow women in combat
positions. "I was just thrilled when they actually
did change the policy," Multgreen said.

Women accused of murder
each insist other fired shots
CAMDEN, N.|. (AP) — Two
women who were dubbed
"Thelma and l.ouise" after they
were accused of bailing an abu
sive ex-lover out of jail and
killing him turned on eac h other
in court, insisting tho other fired
the fatal shots.
"There are only two people
who will ever know who pulled
the trigger," said Assistant Cam
den County Prosecutor Harold
Kasselman. "They are both giv
ing different versions."
Margaret Kosmin and Tammy
Ann Molewicz outlined their
accounts in separate court
appearances Tuesday as they
pleaded guilty to manslaughter
in tho Dei:. 27 slaying of William
Kelly Jr., Kosmin's ex-lover.
Both originally were charged
with murder.
Kelly, according to Kosmin.
was killed in retaliation for
years of abusing her When the
women posted his $1,000 bail,
he had spent eight days in jail
on charges of dragging Kosmin
by the hair and boating her with
a club.
“I was in fear for my life
because of past physical abuse,"
Kosmin tearfully told Superior
Court fudge Isaiah Steinberg.
Both women, who had been
neighbors and friends for
months, admitted scheming to
kill Kelly. Kosmin admitted sup
plying tne gun.
Hut according to Molewioz,
Kosmin shot Kelly outside a
convenience store after they
picked him up from jail. Kos
rnin, for her part, said that she
was hiding inside their car's
trunk when she heard a shot and
that when she got out Molewicz
fired a second time.
The two women put the body
in the trunk and drove to Kos
rnin’s Medford home. ThB body
was eventually dumped in a for
est, where a hunter found it in a
cranberry bog.
The prosecutor said that legal
ly it does not matter which
woman actually pulled the trig
ger. Under the terms of the plea
bargain, both women had to
accept the agreement before it
could become final.
Kosmin could get up to 25
years in prison at sentencing
I)ec lfi, Molewicz could get 20
years.
