The Visitor Center at the Academy is open to the public
but the lines to get in to the base are long.
It is a huge complex, and a treat to see it all.
The scenery is beautiful and it is thrilling to understand some of their
rigorous training.
THE CHAPEL
The main reason I wanted to see the chapel at the Academy was because our family drove to Colorado Springs every Easter Sunday for church at this chapel
These are internet pictures.
Today the chapel in 'under cover' for renovations that will last for 5 more years!
This is today's picture of the chapel.
What a disappointment!
"I could fly my glider here at the Air Force Academy"!😊
Look carefully at the upper left hand corner
there's his plane.
(Video is on Facebook)
And a good landing.
This plane was meant for ground combat, but had it's first air- to- air victory
shooting down an Iraqi helicopter.
The Thunderbirds ended their demo flights with this aircraft when there was a tragic accident in 1982.
This was a beautiful day on the Academy grounds.
