As noted here before, US Air Force pilots are not always found in airplane cockpits.

A US Air Force article documents the experience of F-16 pilot Capt Sarah Eccles — currently an Air Liaison Officer, or ALO.

Eccles apparently volunteered for the ALO tour because it got her near her husband, a C-17 pilot stationed at a base nearby.

Eccles was recently covered in a separate article on female fighter pilots.
