Wings of Blue members proudly perform community outreach both at home and on the road. The team provides frequent tours to youth and civic organizations and enjoys jumping into local schools for Aviation Week and other events. The Wings of Blue has hosted many Make-a-Wish foundation children, helping them achieve the dream of being a “Cadet for a Day” at the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

At air shows around the world, team members happily engage those curious about skydiving and the Air Force, sometimes allowing children to help pack their parachutes! The team welcomes opportunities to meet with today’s youth, encouraging and inspiring them to succeed beyond their perceived limitations.
