Flying has been in the blood of the Romeo Company cadet since she was 6, when she joined her father in the cockpit of a Cessna 150. Her father, Lt. Commander Scott “Yogi” Beare, a U.S. Navy pilot of 24 years, was a Top Gun-trained pilot who flew F-18 Hornets in Desert Storm and in aerobatic demonstrations for the Blue Angels. His influence on his daughter is undeniable. Her goal is to become a fighter pilot in the Air Force, and she is well on her way. Beare is on-schedule to earn her pilot’s license this year.
