Miss America 2024: This Military Officer Made History in Pageantry World

Getting a Pilot License at 16

Three years after her first time at Space Camp, Madison did something pretty incredible—she got her pilot’s license at 16! The general age requirement for such a feat is 17 years, so she was miles ahead of her peers.

Being able to fly a plane at such a young age was a game-changer for Madison. It also played a huge part in leading her towards a leadership role in the military. And guess what? She even talked about this amazing experience in her talent monologue at the Miss America competition. That alone lets us know how far she’s come and how high she aims.
