Lt. Evans made headlines in 2023 when she took part in the first-ever all-female flyover at Super Bowl LVII—an event that marked 50 years of women in naval aviation. Known for her standout flying skills and strong leadership, Evans continues to inspire the next generation of female pilots across the country.
Another standout, Lt. Serena N. Wileman, also a California native, was commissioned in 2018 and joined the Navy’s elite Electronic Attack Squadron 130—nicknamed the “Zappers”—in 2021. She earned a reputation for her commitment to mission success and her tireless pursuit of excellence.
Both women had recently returned from an extended deployment to the Middle East, where they carried out critical missions over Yemen and provided support operations in the Red Sea. Their courage and commitment to national security in high-pressure environments stand as a powerful reminder of the vital role women play in our armed forces.
