A monument honoring the nearly 3,000 enlisted sergeant pilots who served from 1912-1957 was unveiled during a ceremony June 9, 2014, at the Enlisted Heritage Hall at Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base. The monument depicts Cpl. Vernon L. Burge, the first enlisted pilot in military aviation, and recognizes the accomplishments of the enlisted fliers who came after him. More than a century after Burge, two Air Force master sergeants became the first enlisted Airmen to fly and complete their own solo flights in a DA-20 Datana, Nov. 3, 2016, part of their required training to become RQ-4 Global Hawk pilots.
