Meet the Air Force's first female African-American fighter pilot
Major Shawna Rochelle Kimbrell
While most fourth grade girls talk about being a ballerina, veterinarian, doctor or princess, Shawna Rochelle (Ng-A-Qui) Kimbrell, knew she wanted to take to the skies
The Parker, Colo., native initially wanted to be an astronaut, but decided it would be more fun to fly a fighter jet.
"I fell in love with the idea of the freedom of flying and after my first flight lesson at age 14, I never looked back," said Major Kimbrell, who is currently the flight commander of Aircrew Flight Equipment. |
