Stop by and walk around. Here there is a great air force museum and the Cadet Chapel is very beautiful -- neat architecture.

The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, (38°59′45″N, 104°51′58″W), is an institution for the undergraduate education of officers in the United States Air Force.

Graduates of the four-year program receive a Bachelor of Science degree and most are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Air Force.[1] The program at the Academy is based on its core values of "Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do".

The Air Force Academy is often referred to informally as "The Academy," "The Hill", "The Zoo" (originally "The Blue Zoo") or "Wild Blue U."

Unlike the military academies at West Point and Annapolis, which are often referred to by their respective city names, the Air Force Academy is rarely referred to as "Colorado Springs." In athletic events, the Academy is generally referred to simply as "Air Force." Air Force Academy cadets and graduates are often referred to as "Zoomies."
