So, the sky is not the limit...

This year's Miss America winner is an Air Force pilot.

Second Lieutenant Madison Marsh was crowned at the pageant in Florida.

The 22-year-old Colorado native is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and becomes the first active-duty officer to ever win the Miss America title.

She's also a master's student in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.

She told The Harvard Crimson: "When I put on my uniform, I serve, and I represent our country," she said. "When I put on the crown and sash, I'm serving, representing my community."
