A role model. Professionalism, kindness and compassion. A perfect mix. And it was not easy being a female flying fighter jets during her Navy years. Ceilings broken. Thank you. She will never see herself as a hero. But she is.
The Southwest pilot -- her calm, quick action, you will hear her talking to the tower and we now learn she was one of the navy's first female fighter pilots. @MarthaRaddatz reports.
