#ICMYI Amazing first place photo from the @usafa_soaring photo contest. Congrats to C1C Enrique Castellanos for the winning shot. Enrique was able to catch this photograph at the perfect time — check out that lightning! The rain drop on the camera is a testament to the unforeseen and fluctuating weather conditions that cadet IPs are all too familiar with. In this photo USAFA’s Sailplane Racing Team (@usafa_xcsoaring) quickly loads a glider into its trailer - gliders and storms do not mix! . . . . . . . #soaring #aviation #gliders #sailplanes #usafrecruiting #usaf #airforceacademy #USAF #usafa #pilot #flying #youracademy #lookwhereweputourgrads #bringmetows #instructorpilot #militaryaviation #bestandbrightest #pilottraining #airforce #cadet #attitudedeterminesaltitude #photography #weatherphotography #clouds #lightning #storm #lightningwithin5nm
