Rachel Sallee, One of Our Own Young Eagles

Editor’s Note: In the April 2020 EAA newsletter, we featured Rachel Sallee as one of our Women Aviators of the Month. The following is an update from Rachel on her current status in the USAF. Congratulations to this amazing young lady. We are so proud of her! Rachel is currently flying a C-17 transport “traveling the globe.”

As many of you know, the last couple years I’ve been pushing, training, studying, and finally interviewing to hopefully join the ranks of Air Force test pilots. I am overwhelmingly grateful to announce I’ll be heading to Edwards AFB later this year to follow that dream. So incredibly grateful to all of the support, guidance, and grace that has led to this opportunity. My unending thanks to the people that have helped me get here - I will not let you down. Never thought I’d want to go live in the desert, but we’ve never been ones to turn down a challenge. God is good.
