Following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Lt. Col. Christina Hopper flew numerous combat air patrol missions in support of Operation Noble Eagle to protect the president and critical infrastructure. From 2002 to 2003, she deployed to Kuwait to support Operations Southern Watch and Iraqi Freedom. Hopper flew more than 50 combat missions during those operations and became the first African American, female fighter pilot to fight in a major war. (U.S. Air Force graphic by Tech. Sgt.
