Lt. Commander Monica Borza served as the flight surgeon for the Blue Angels during the 2022 season, becoming the 4th woman in the team’s history to do so.
The Blue Angels are the highlight each year at the Miramar Air Show, but even if you’ve seen them perform in person, you’ve never seen them like this before.
Lt. Commander Monica Borza is one of those people. She served as the flight surgeon for the Blue Angels during the 2022 season, becoming the 4th woman in the team’s history to do so.Borza said her desire to join the Blue Angels was first sparked at six years old when her dad took her and her sister to see the squadron perform in Virginia Beach.
Borza's first squadron was VFMA-314 at MCAS Miramar, also known as the Black Knights. She said they encouraged her to apply for the Blue Angels, which she did. She was selected for the position, which not only entails being the team’s doctor but also the lead safety officer on the ground.
