The cameras will take you to where the action is: whether in the heat, dust and sweat of basic training in Jack’s Valley; in a science lab as cadets fend off sleep to complete a class project, or on the broad expanse of the Terrazzo as the “basics” proudly become fourth class cadets on Acceptance Day. We'll experience the extremes of human emotions along with the cadets as we see them challenged in every way.

Every story needs someone to root for. The surest way for the viewer to get involved is to allow them to get to know the stories of the individual Air Force cadets and to follow their trials and tribulations to ultimate triumph. The Academy will follow the trials of a number of cadets from diverse backgrounds as they face the greatest challenges of their lives.

The stories of the individuals will be interwoven with one another to illustrate the rich texture of Academy life. We'll see our featured cadets interact with others, with faculty and administration, and with visiting grads. Rather than ‘talking heads’ Wings of Honor will show participants fully engaged in the education that will form them into the leaders of tomorrow.

We’ll experience it all through the eyes of today’s cadets, as well as the from the seasoned perspective of the grads who have come before. And we’ll begin to understand why the experiences forge such tight bonds with the Academy, create so many life-long friendships and provide inspiration for all that follows.

There will be special emphasis on character development classes and events such as the National Character and Leadership symposium, Academy Character Enrichment Seminars (ACES), Leaders in Flight Today (LIFT) seminars, and Respect and Responsibility (R&R).

And in the end, we’ll know that in it’s fiftieth year of service, the Air Force Academy truly is building leaders of character for America.

Wings of Honor will be available in a number of different formats for programming in one, two or four episodes, and with and without commercials. Website at www.wingsofhonormovie.com.
