After nearly 110 years of naval aviation, the US Navy has welcomed its first Black female tactical jet pilot

Soaring through the glass ceilings of both her gender and race, Lt. j.g. Madeline Swegle has made history as the US Navy's first Black female tactical aircraft pilot.

"BZ to Lt. j.g. Madeline Swegle on completing the Tactical Air aviator syllabus," the Chief of Naval Air Training wrote Thursday on Facebook, using the abbreviation BZ for Bravo Zulu, which means"well done." "Swegle is the U.S. Navy's first known Black female TACAIR pilot and will receive her Wings of Gold later this month," the post continued.

Aii depois nós que somos racistas conosco mesmo... não acho necessidade fazer uma publicação falando de cor e raça....

You go girl

This is awesome news along with the first female Green Beret recently. And during the Trump Administration of course!!! Obama was all talk, no accomplishments.

Congratulations! Thank you for your Service!

Congrats on this accomplishment!

So many talented smart, intelligent black women in the United States Navy and It only took 110 years? well Congratulations, but you're still a nia to them.

First one.last one?

Over here in Nigeria is a different sad narrative. The govt is wasting her great potentials

Congrats... and you be cute 😍 ☺ 😘

Hard work has its rewards no matter who you are. Excellent well done.

BZ ma’am

Now, observe the difference between CNN news and their editorials. This is news, every other tweet is an editorial (opinionated tripe).

Congratulations!

Congrats is good to recognize the power of a woman

Seems a bit racist and sexist to invest in a black woman. How is she supposed to argue male superiority and oppression now?

Oppression ? Maybe not as much as they claim. You have to earn it.

Congrats girl

Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾 keep the skies friendly🇺🇸

Congratulations!

She looks very American.

That demonstrates that working and studying hard pays off instead of complaining and playing the race card all the time. Good for her.

So late

Aewsome!

Fly hard sister!!

She’s only half black. Implicit colonization.

We'll done I love you

Opportunity is everything. We did not have a chance before.

Gooooooo society!

Help my dying brother please everyone don't ignore don't let him die in pain help needed for his surgery check my page save his life please everyone have mercy 🙏🙏🙏😭

wow, only took 110 years. and y’all claim to be diverse?

Good for her, now get back to work.

Finally. What year are we in? SMH

jewchaacho A Bravo Zulu to my shipmate. Such a wonderful job. Thank you for your service and dedication to our great nation.

so they won't call the Navy racist now ?

Nice!

I’m sure with hard work, dedication and a desire to succeed is why she earned these Wings of Gold....it has nothing to do with her race or that she’s a female

Makes me wonder who was the first unknown Black female TACAIR pilot......

Hooyah

👏👏👏👏👏

How long have they been allowed to achieve this position and just not accomplished it?

You go girlfriend!

Mmmmmm... she does appear to have some mixed lineage.. Is the color of her skin important somehow in relation to Flying an airplane? I'm confused as to why CNN is so concerned about skin color?

LTJG Swegle BRAVO USNavy

Lemme guess it’s the navy fault they never had a black female pilot

How is this possible 😱 I thought all Black people are oppressed

Becoming a naval pilot is an achievement for anyone.....calling out skin color and gender has turned it racial and implies that blacks and women are inferior. There’s your systematic racism in your face.

Just shut the whole thing down. Stop fighting, stop the killing.

More female war criminals!

After nearly 110 years of naval aviation... After nearly 110 years of naval aviation... After nearly 110 years of naval aviation... After nearly 110 years of naval aviation... After nearly 110 years of naval aviation... After nearly 110 years of naval aviation...

Congratulations young lady

110 years? Why? SystemicRacism

I got shotgun 🙌🏾

Just continue like that and you will be like an African country. They also have black pilots.

Debería darle vergüenza a Estados Unidos que hayan tenido que pasar 110 años de aviación naval para tener su primera 'black female tactical jet pilot'.

21 US sailors injured today in San Diego, commander in chief says nothing. Plays golf instead.

Congratulations!🎊

Congratulations to you on this prestigious accomplishment

👏👏

Amazing, what stud she is

First known?

Am proudly Africa and I am happy to be black

Colour doesn’t define capabilities ! You shouldn’t have wrote word black in it, it’s a racist mind setup where ever you write this.

post about joe biden's dementia and how he has ties to the communist party of china

Congrats on a great achievement. Not an easy task.

Congrats 👍
