Captain Josie Lockworth, USAF, upped the throttle and pushed forward on the stick of her T-38 supersonic jet. Out of courtesy only, she offered the warning to reporter Shannon Conner strapped into the back seat.
Not that she had anything against reporters.
Hell, she’d flown with top-notch embedded journalists in the Middle East. Her best friend was even a television correspondent.This reporter, however, could only be called a hack.
