We're going to flight school

Just by posting this picture, the
Brucefest blog has been flagged
by the military.
 Our final day in the Colorado mountains involved a behind-the-scenes tour of the Air Force Academy just oustide of Colorado Springs, courtesy of the Bruce -- himself a graduate and probably the reason why each of his first two children have the initials "AF."

The lanscape is pretty cool, and we also got to check out the as-yet-unopened Holaday Center, which will be dedicated in mere days and serves as the future practice home of the football team and other athletics programs. The New Guy ran a 40-yard dash that was clocked at 4.15, which would have made him an NFL hopeful until we realized that was actually a 30-yard dash time.

Holaday cheer

The Air Force insists on participation in athletics, either intercollegiate or intramurals, and the facilities for such things are ridiculous. It's basically an endless plain of athletics facilities and then some dorms.

Before we go, it's time for some World Cup (we're heading to overtime!) and our final hours at the Murphy and Fritzsche campus.
