Madeline Swegle Biography

On July 31, 2020, Lt. j.g. Madeline Swegle received the coveted Wings of Gold, making history as the Navy's first Black female tactical aircraft pilot and telling CNN: "It would've been nice to see someone who looked like me in this role; I never intended to be the first. I hope it's encouraging to other people." Swegle follows in the footsteps of Lt. Cmdr. Brenda E. Robinson, the first African-American female pilot and flight instructor in U.S. Navy history and the first to earn Wings of Gold.

A second-generation U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Swegle accomplished her latest feat after what is reportedly a grueling academic, physical and tactical advanced military-jet training course, which includes landing and launching from an aircraft carrier and flying in formation with three other aircraft, performing maneuvers similar to those of the Blue Angels. Swegle's historic achievement earned praise from all corners, including vice presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris, who congratulated her for "paving the way for young girls everywhere."

Swegle is from Burke, Virginia and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2017. She was assigned to the Redhawks of Training Squadron 21 at Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas.
