First female pilot performs with Blue Angels

Capt. Katie Higgins takes flight in South Carolina

BEAUFORT, S.C. -The Blue Angels made history this past weekend when they took to the skies in South Carolina.

For the first time in the 69-year-history of the Navy's elite fliers, there was a female pilot performing in the skies.

Capt. Katie Higgins pilots the C-130, nicknamed "Fat Albert." She is a third-generation aviator and was named to the team last year. Higgins is based out of Annapolis, Maryland.
