On June 14, 2024, Capt. Judith Neuffer Bruner was laid to rest in Section 83 of Arlington National Cemetery. Neuffer was a pioneering aviator in the U.S. Navy when she became the first woman to fly solo in an aircraft and the first to become a P-3 pilot in the Navy. One of the first women to qualify as a naval aviator in 1973, Neuffer logged several thousands of hours piloting the P-3. She was the first woman P-3 aircraft commander and the first woman to pilot an aircraft through the eye of a hurricane. She retired from the Navy in 1998 after 28 years of service. She went on to serve at NASA under a variety of assignments. We honor her service. (U.S. Army video by Daryl Vaca)
