Randi Carpenter, a 2001 Newcastle High School graduate and former News Letter Journal reporter, made a historic journey to the other side of the world early this year. Carpenter, a major in the Wyoming Air National Guard, was one of eight members of an all-female aircrew that conducted an airlift mission in Africa on Jan. 2, 2024. This group was the first all-female aircrew deployed by the Wyoming Air National Guard.
Aboard a C-130H Hercules aircraft, Carpenter’s unit transported Army personnel as well as supplies. For the mission, the aircrew flew from Djibouti to Somalia.
“It was relatively easy. It was one of the less complicated missions as far as anything unexpected happening,” Carpenter said.
