...While a general discharge is a much milder outcome than a dishonorable one, Flinn may never be allowed to fly for the Air Force again, including in the National Guard or military reserves, which Flinn had hoped to do.

While she can continue her flying career as a commercial airline pilot, the Air Force is losing one of its best in the elite group of 600 B-52 pilots, one who had been recognized...
