The air show in OC is this weekend and we're sending a big shout out to Capt. Katie Higgins as she makes history! Woohoo! Girl power!!!
The air show says the first female to ever fly with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will be at the air show. Marine Capt. Katie Higgins is a third generation military aviator. She is originally from Severna Park, Md. She graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, went to Georgetown University for a Masters in International Security, and then started flight school training in Pensacola, Fla. She is one of three Blue Angel pilots who fly the C-130 Hercules, known as “Fat Albert.” Higgins will take the controls during the Ocean City show.
We can't wait to see her in action!
