Cadets for the cure

Participants in the Colorado Springs' Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure pose for a photo during the days activities. Cadets pitched in on race day from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. to direct traffic in darkness, work the information tent, unload refreshment products, assist in stage recognition of the survivors and direct more than 7,000 participants through the race course by manning water stations, the finish line and on buses.

Airmanship: Soaring Program

The U.S. Air Force Academy's soaring program gives cadets their first hands-on experience with flying aircraft. The 94th Flying Training Squadron conducts the training, flying more than 30,000 sorties per year. (U.S. Air Force photo/David Armer)
