The U.S. Navy has identified the two aviators who died when their EA-18G Growler aircraft crashed near Mount Rainier last week. Lt. Cmdr. Lyndsay P. Evans and Lt. Serena N. Wileman were declared dead Sunday by the Navy and search and rescue efforts were shifted to recovery operations. Evans was a naval flight officer and Wileman was a naval aviator. Both were 31 years old and from California. Investigators are still working to learn what led up to the Oct. 15 crash during a "routine training flight." -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: https://komonews.com/news/local/us-navy-aviators-ea18g-growler-jet-crash-military-aircraft-mount-rainier-zappers-vaq-electronic-attack-squadron _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ KOMO News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/komonews KOMO News on Instagram: http://instagram.com/komo4 KOMO News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC__2_0RJ8XnHt2angfw6S1Q/?sub_confirmation=1 Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G97AyNO_3IE&list=PLZm7uq7_dyY6qhFFIwgXRvYpkaOnZEabc&index=2&t=0s For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
