The MoD said Fisher was on her final assessment of flying training when she was “tragically killed”. It said she was due to be awarded her Pilot’s Wings this month.
In a tribute, her family said: “To say she was full of life is an understatement: she took every opportunity to push her limits, achieve more, and bring out the best in those around her.
“We are so proud of everything she accomplished. She has left an immeasurable hole in our lives, and in all the lives she has touched and inspired. The family kindly ask for time and space at this difficult time.”
The MoD said she had a background representing England and Great Britain in a number of different sports. After graduating from Imperial College London, she joined the Royal Navy in 2019.
During a break in her flying training, she became Britain’s only serving female Royal Navy Commando and worked as part of the UK military’s response to the Channel migrant crisis, helping to find and recover boats to prevent loss of life, it said.
