U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- Members of the first class of the U.S. Air Force Academy's Unmanned Aircraft System and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Education Program received their UAS wings Aug. 11 during a ceremony here.
The class included four hand-picked cadre, all second degrees, with the remainder third degrees. More than 80 cadets originally volunteered for the program, the first of its kind in U.S. service academies.
"You are pioneers," Brig. Gen. Dana Born, the dean of the faculty, told the graduates. "You are going to set the sky as the limit and beyond."
