LTJG Madeline Swegel is the US Navy’s first black woman tactical fighter pilot. Now she will become the first Black female TACAIR pilot to receive those coveted Gold Wings.
She will now be moved to training in the Navy’s tactical planes like the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. Like all Navy pilots, Swegle did her training in the T-45C Goshawk training aircraft.
LTJG Swegle completed the Tactical Air (Strike) Aviator’s Syllabus early this month while assigned to the “Redhawks” of Training Squadron (VT) 21 at Naval Air Station Kingsville, TX. Swegle graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 2017.
At the end of this month, the United States Navy will give the Wings of Gold to its first Black female fighter pilot, LTJG Madeline Swegle.
