Cadets to Start at 7000 Feet Near Colorado Springs
The new Air Force Academy site at Colorado Springs was chosen after a banner effort by local leaders and a 400-strong committee led by Brig. Gen. Lindbergh. Weather averages 69.6 in August and 29.9 in January, with 250 flying days yearly. The 15,100-acre site costs 1.4 million with 1 million from the state and local contributions. The first class should begin at a Denver temporary site by July 1855, with full completion in 1957 and annual output of 2,500 officers.
