The two US Navy pilots who were killed when their EA-18G Growler crashed east of Mount Rainier in the US state of Washington have now been identified.

The Naval Air Station Whidbey Island confirmed in a statement that the two pilots were Lieutenant Commander Lyndsay P. Evans, aged 31, and Lieutenant Serena N. Wileman, also aged 31.

The Navy statement declared that Evans and Wileman, described as highly skilled, combat-decorated aviators, had recently returned from a deployment with their squadron, Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130, ‘Zappers’, with whom they spent nine months at sea as a part of Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) (IKE).
