Lance Benzel - Colorado Springs Gazette
From the article:
Last year, the Air Force ordered more drones than fighter jets, and
the Air Force Academy became the first service academy in the
nation to launch a program to coach cadets in their use.
“Unmanned aircraft are here, and they are the future of the
Air Force,” said Air Force Lt. Col. Dave Latham, an experienced
pilot who directs the academy’s extracurricular drone program.
The airmanship program began in the summer of 2009, with
just 25 cadets. About 90 cadets graduated from the program
this summer, and the academy plans to accommodate
about 325 cadets by next year.
