The Falconers

So one club you can join at the United States Air Force Academy (Go Falcons!) is the Falconers Club. Here, you train the falcons to fly at games and other events. Before the parade on Tuesday morning, this nice cadet brought a falcon by for the kids to see. You can pet him (her?), and he wears that hood to keep him calm. The cadet took off his hood for a moment to show us his eyes. The hood slips on and off very easily and painlessly.

Thanks, Cadet Fourth Class DeLong!:
