Evans and Wileman, two 31-year-old female aviators, died last week in a training-flight crash of their EA-18G Growler jet near Mount Rainier.
The history-making Lt. Cmdr. Evans participated in the first-ever all-female flyover of Super Bowl LVII, highlighting the advancement of women in Navy aviation.
Cmdr. Timothy Warburton expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the two aviators, emphasizing the Navy's priority in supporting their families and the community.
The crash site, located in a remote area at about 6,000 feet, prompted a switch from rescue to recovery operations after the wreckage was found.
