Title: A Question Re: The AFA (Colorado) Encampment
Post by: skippytim on December 09, 2007, 09:35:44 AM
Does the encampment held in June at the Air Force Academy in Colorado have a flight at the end like most other encampments?

Any guesses at what kind of helicopter/plane if so?

Not all other encampments have flights at the end, all that I have been to have not.  It would usually depend on schedules of all involved and funding.

Ditto - not only does it depend on the venue and schedule, the availability of free aircraft and crews is severely limited right not because of deployments and BRACs.

Some encampments don't even do the flight at the end, just whenever they can fit them in (especially with the military's schedule, I would imagine).

Mass Wing has done the Huey/Black Hawk and Hercules flights mid-week for as long as I can remember.

The short answer is no- we do flight simulators with AFA cadets.
The encampment is also at the Prep School, and the cadets get to tour the AFA campus.

   Last year the Advanced Training Flight (ATF) flew in the Academy gliders.  That was really cool!
