Nelda Lee
Nelda Lee was a Boeing design and flight test engineer. During her 45-year career (Lee retired in 2014), she considers her most memorable moment to be when she flew an F-15, supervised by Boeing test pilot Gary Jennings, a certified instructor. As a result, Lee became the first woman to record flying time in an F-15.[1]
She began her career with McDonnell Douglas. Over the course of her career, she oversaw four military aircraft including the F-15 Eagle, AV-8 Harrier, T-45 Goshawk, and F/A-18 Hornet.[2]
Education[]
Lee was the second woman to receive a BS degree in Aerospace Engineering from Auburn University. Lee has an MA degree in Management and Human Resources Development from Webster University.[2]
