Air Force Falcons History
People all across the country have
been delighted by the aerobatics of the falcon, the flying mascot of the
U.S. Air Force Academy and the only performing mascot in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association. The falcon can attain velocities exceeding
200 miles per hour in stoops or dives, turn sharply and streak only inches
above the ground, making it the fastest and one of the most maneuverable
of all birds. Trained and handled by cadet falconers, the birds soar and
dive, sometimes zooming low over the heads of spectators. While their
public flying performances are primarily limited to outdoor venues, most
often at football games and cadet wing parades, the falcons appear at
many other athletic contests in which cadet teams play.
Members of the Class of l959, the first to enter the
Academy, chose the falcon as the mascot of the cadet wing Sept. 25, l955,
feeling that it best characterized the combat role of the U.S. Air Force.
They did not specify any particular species, thus, any falcon can serve
as mascot. Some of the characteristics which led to its selection were
speed, powerful and graceful flight, courage, keen eyesight, alertness,
regal carriage, and noble tradition. The falcon exemplified the qualities
sought in Air Force Academy cadets; courage, intelligence, love of the
wild sky, ferocity in attack, but gentle in repose - and discipline.
Some people said falcons could
not be trained to perform before huge crowds, that the birds would panic
and flee. Since 1956, however, cadets have flown the birds at sporting
events before thousands of cheering spectators. Six weeks or more and
an average of 300 man-hours per bird are required to properly train a
young falcon. When a bird is in top condition, it is able to fly for more
than an hour and make repeated stoops at the baited lure swung by the
cadet falconer. Although they can be trained to perform, falcons are never
totally domesticated and remain wild creatures with strong, independent
spirits.
