U.S. Air Force Capt. Morgan Burris, center back, was joined by fellow female Airmen from the 137th Special Operations Wing at the 5th Annual Oklahoma Women in Aviation & Aerospace Day hosted by the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission and the Oklahoma Airport Operators Association.
Burris was selected as a finalist for the Oklahoma Military Aviation Distinguished Service Award for being one of six copilots mobilized for the first-ever Presidential Emergency Involuntary Mobilization of the Air National Guard. After returning, she was upgraded to Aircraft Commander as a 1st Lieutenant, a first for a female aviator in the 185th Special Operations Squadron (SOS).
Reflecting on the nomination, Burris said, “For those looking to be inspired by my recognition, the best advice I can give is to show up with a good attitude and work hard, regardless of gender. I am grateful for the support and leadership of the 185th SOS and hope I can influence others as greatly as I have been influenced by the aviators surrounding me.”
