The 33rd Fighter Wing hosted 24 students, ages 16-20, as part of the Air Force Recruiting Service Detachment 1 AIM HIGH Flight Academy June 7-8, 18, at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. As part of the program, students were able to take an inspirational flight in a KC-135 Stratotanker and witness an F-35A Lightning IIs and F-22 Raptors mid-flight refueling. The 33rd FW has been designated an AIM Wing, which seeks to inspire future generations as part of the Air Force’s Rated Diversity Improvement strategy. The AHFA gives people from all backgrounds an opportunity to learn about the work of Air Force aviators and train in flying to give them a competitive advantage for rated career slots.
