Is there any opportunity for cadets to earn a PPL while at the academy?
Yes, the aero club allows you to do that on club time (and I believe, money, but I'm probably wrong). That's what I plan on doing.

Stealth, those hours numbers for USAFA programs seem way too high, unless they've more than doubled their flying hours!
Basic Soaring was 10 flights, averaging .3hr each. Powered Flight was 13-16hrs, if I recall. IFS was something like 16-20hrs.
For some of us with our PPL already what flying opportunity will we have during our C4C year? And afterwards? can you get on the flight team during C4C or C3C
The flying team try-outs are only available to C4Cs with a PPL or greater in the 1st semester at USAFA.
Outside of that, no other special opportunities with a PPL.
