REASON #4: US Air Force Academy Graduation and Thunderbird Flyovers

Graduation week is traditionally comprised of many activities and events across the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The week culminates at Falcon Stadium with the iconic graduation ceremony. Commencement speakers often include the President of the United States, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Air Force and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At the close of the ceremony, cadets are dismissed and ceremoniously toss their caps into the air. Cheers and celebration are quickly silenced by the roar of the legendary Thunderbirds flying overhead to honor the graduating class.
