Description
The U.S. Navy has identified two servicemembers who were killed in a growler crash near Mount Rainier last week.
The crew members were identified Monday as Lt. Cmdr. Lyndsay Payge Evans, 31, a naval flight officer, and Lt. Serena Nicole Wileman, 31, a naval aviator. Both were from California.
Evans and Wileman were both assigned to the Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130. They died when their electronic warfare aircraft crashed in remote terrain Oct. 15.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of two beloved Zappers,” Cmdr. Timothy Warburton, commanding officer of the squadron, said in a statement Sunday. “Our priority right now is taking care of the families of our fallen aviators, and ensuring the well-being of our Sailors and the Growler community. We are grateful for the ongoing teamwork to safely recover the deceased.”
