Navy’s first all-female flyover will honor a woman who helped make it possible

Now, at her funeral, retired Navy Captain Rosemary Mariner will receive the first-ever all-female flyover.

The special tribute, officially (and datedly) named the “Missing Man Flyover,” honors aviators who have died serving their country. It features four jets flying above a funeral service in formation before one of the aircraft peels away and climbs into the sky.

Mariner died January 24 after a long battle with ovarian cancer. She was 65. Mariner was the Navy’s first female jet pilot and the “first female military aviator to achieve command of an operational air squadron,” according to a Navy statement.
