"More than just names and ranks, they were role models, trailblazers, and women whose influence touched countless people on the flight deck and well beyond," Navy officials said in a statement. This sentiment emphasizes the impact Lt. Cmdr. Evans and Lt. Wileman had not only within the military but also as inspiring figures for future generations of female aviators."
"It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of two beloved Zappers," Cmdr. Timothy Warburton, commanding officer of the squadron, said in a statement. "Our priority right now is taking care of the families of our fallen aviators, and ensuring the well-being of our Sailors and the Growler community." This highlights the Navy's commitment to supporting the families and community affected by this tragic event.
