About the Author
Kodey Bogart is a former United States Army Warrant Officer and aviator who flew the Blackhawk during medical evacuation missions. She is a decorated combat veteran, having received two Air Medals and a Sikorsky Rescue Award. Kodey made history as the first female to be designated as Pilot in Command for day, night, and night vision goggle (NVG) operations in combat for the Florida Army National Guard.
With extensive experience across aviation operations—including aviation safety, flight training, maintenance test flights, helicopter air ambulance, and aviation law enforcement—Kodey brings both expertise and passion to every mission.
She lives with her husband and children in Merritt Island, Florida, where she shares her love of aviation, especially with her daughter and sons, by highlighting the diversity of the mission. For Kodey and the Helo Girls crew, the sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning.
