Falconry
Airman Magazine
March 6, 2017 | 2:25
The Academy’s falconry team performs for nearly 600,000 spectators a year at sporting events and educational visits nationwide. The first Academy class selected the falcon has its mascot in 1955 and the falconry team began performing at football games in 1956. Twelve cadets make up the team with four new cadets selected at the end of each freshman year.
The Academy chose the falcon for its superiority in the air. The falcon is the best air-to-air killer and we represent that as an Air Force. They are the best and we are the best, their presence demands recognition and our Air Force does too. (U.S. Air Force video by Andrew Arthur Breese)
