Megan Hirlehey wanted to be a pilot ever since she came to the base for family day as a kid with her dad, Kevin Clancy, a Master Sgt. in the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. In 2008, right before graduating high school, Megan enlisted in her dads unit, the 171st Air Refueling Wing. She served in the base’s Education and Training office and also the base’s Small Air Terminal, while her dad served in the Maintenance Group. She followed her dream to be a pilot and commissioned in 2020. On July 6, 2023, 1st Lt. Megan Hirlehey flew her first mission with the 171st - aboard the very aircraft her dad serves as Crew Chief. Kevin marshaled his daughter off the flight line and saluted her as she steered the KC-135 aircraft towards the runway for take off. (U.S. Air National Guard Photo)
