Nearly 1,000 people filled the Doolittle Campus and later its Heritage Trail Oct. 2 as the Class of 1976 dedicated its 50th reunion class gift and presented it to the United States Air Force Academy.

"Today's gift presentation and dedication is a living testament to our core values: integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do. And these are the values that are forged into cadets who graduate and become members of the Long Blue Line," Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Jack Catton '76 said during the ceremony. "It is with great gratitude and humility that the bicentennial class of 1976 presents our 50th reunion class gift to the Air Force Academy.” Gen. Catton was the class reunion chair.

The Spirit of '76 Echelon honors all graduates of the Academy. As visitors approach the Echelon on the Heritage Trail, they are greeted by a kiosk that invokes the Cadet Chapel spires and includes a futuristic starship and monolith to connect the past and future.

The first graduating class — the Class of 1959 — is honored with a B-25 propeller sculpture, recognizing it as the bridge between the Army Air Corps and the Long Blue Line. Immediately after this tribute, each ensuing decade of graduates is honored with an echelon formation of C-130 Hercules propellers — one for each class — chosen because the C-130’s maiden flight was during the year the Air Force Academy was founded.

Listening doesn’t mean you have to agree.
Leaders who think critically don’t always accept “facts” at face value.

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby ’89 shares how he processes expert information, and why we relies more on the facts that drive conclusions over the conclusions themselves.
