Cadets in #USAFA's Powered Flight Program transformed classroom instruction into hands-on flying experience, developing the confidence, discipline and decision-making skills required of future usairforce and usspaceforce officers. From preflight inspections to coordinated flight operations, cadets gained firsthand experience in aviation fundamentals while learning the responsibilities of leading from the cockpit.
