A Thunderbird pilot is heading to Washington, D.C., to spend one year as a White House Fellow.

Maj. Nicole Malachowski is among 14 people selected for the 2008-09 internships.

The White House Fellows Program, started in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson, offers experience working at the highest levels of the federal government. Fellows participate in an education program of roundtable discussions with leaders from the private and public sectors and trips to examine government policy in action.

Past Fellows include Air Force Assistant Vice Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Frank Klotz, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former CNN president Tom Johnson and former NATO commander Gen. Wesley Clark.

Before joining the Thunderbirds in 2005, Malachowski flew F-15E Strike Eagles, including combat time in Operation Deliberate Forge over Bosnia and Operation Iraqi Freedom. In South Korea, the 1996 Air Force Academy graduate served as an air liaison officer with the Army’s 2nd Infantry Division.

Malachowski flew as Thunderbird No. 3 with the demonstration squadron in 2006 and 2007.
