Eula Pearl Carter Scott (1915–2005) became the youngest pilot in the United States on September 12, 1929, when she took her first solo flight. She learned to fly from Wiley Post. She was a stunt pilot. In 1972 she became one of the Chickasaw Nation's first community health representatives; her mother was an original enrollee of the Chickasaw Nation.

She is also listed in the 1978-79 edition of Personalities of the South, the 1989-90 edition of Outstanding Women of America, and in the Chickasaw Historical Section of the Memphis Magazine. In 2014 a portrait of her was unveiled in the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

She was inducted into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame, the International Women's Air & Space Museum Hall of Fame, and the Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame, and is a charter member of the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian.
