Capt. Christina Hopper, an F-16 pilot with the 524th Fighter Squadron at Cannon AFB, New Mexico, was recently presented Good Housekeeping magazine's Woman in Government Award for 2003 and was featured in the magazine's July edition. The award is given to a woman who "has made a significant contribution toward the advancement of women in government." The Good Housekeeping honor comes with a cash award of $25,000. Hopper was deployed with her squadron in March 2003, when the war in Iraq started. She and the other squadron pilots bombed targets the second day of the war. She will soon head for a tour as an instructor pilot at Luke AFB, Arizona.
