ELITE BLUE ANGELS SQUADRON GETS ITS FIRST FEMALE PILOT

U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Katie Higgin's is the first fe,ale pilot with the prestigious Blue Angels. She is a third-generation military aviator. The Blue Angels is the "second-oldest formal flying team in the world" and "one of the most exclusive jobs available to a Naval pilot. Other women have been on the Blue Angels team, but none have ever been in the cockpit during a show till now. This is historically significant by adding a woman to the flight roster of such an elite aviation team.
