Heather "Lucky" Penney
Heather Penney shares her story of being one of two pilots ordered to take down United Airlines Flight 93 during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. She will share her story of courage as the events of that day unfolded. Heather was part of the first wave of women who went directly into fighters from pilot training. She applied to the Air National Guard and earned her wings at ENJJPT, Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training, where she flew the T-37 and T-38. The first and only woman in the 121st Fighter Squadron, Heather deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom for initial combat operations as a nighttime SCUD Hunter in the western deserts of Iraq, also supporting Special Operations Forces.
