The Navy has identified the two crew members killed when their jet fighter crashed near Mount Rainier last week as two 31-year-old aviators from California. Lt. Commander Lyndsay Evans, a Naval Flight Officer, and Lt. Serena Wileman, a Naval Aviator, died when their EA-18G Growler jet from the Electronic Attack Squadron crashed last Tuesday. That’s according to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. An aerial crew located the wreckage resting in a remote, steep and heavily wooded area east of Mount Rainier. Navy officials declared the aviators dead on Sunday.
