Capt. Kevin T. McGee, a native of Reston, Virginia, attended Duke University on an ROTC scholarship and graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering and political science in 1998. He completed flight training and was designated a naval aviator in 2000.

McGee’s first operational tour was as an F/A-18C pilot with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 83 “Rampagers,”  deploying in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Southern Watch. He later transitioned to the F/A-18E/F and deployed as a department head with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 41 "Black Aces" supporting ground forces during Operation Enduring Freedom.

McGee was then selected for the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) Cooperative Program and graduated with distinction from the Air Force Institute of Technology with a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering with USNTPS Class 130. He served as a test pilot at Air Test and Evaluation (VX) 31 at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, California, on two separate occasions where he led various test programs and conducted mission systems and weapons testing on the F/A-18C/D, F/A-18E/F and the EA-18G.   

McGee transitioned to the aerospace engineering duty officer community in 2012 and served multiple tours as part of the F-35 Joint Program Office, including pilot training lead and the autonomic logistics information system integrated product team lead. He led the T-45 Program while assigned to the Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems Program Office (PMA-273) and then served as the director of Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division's Air Systems Group.

McGee has more than 2,500 hours of flight time and more than 500 carrier arrestments. His awards include two Joint Meritorious Service Medals, two Meritorious Service Medals and two Air Medals, among various other unit and personal awards.
