Sustaining Flight Through the Power of Knowledge

Abstract

Today's Air Force Academy graduates will face far more dramatic changes - than I did. The Air Force itself is going through dramatic changes. One enduring principle that I have found to be a foundation in the midst of these continuing changes, something I first embraced during my doolie year at the Academy, is the inscription on the Eagle and Fledging statue outside Mitchell hall: "Man's Flight Through Life Is Sustained by the Power of his Knowledge." This afternoon, I want to talk to you about how the power of knowledge will sustain today's graduates and America's armed forces in this time of accelerating change.
