Colorado selects site for Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs
Colorado lawmakers backed a 1 million dollar appropriation to acquire a 15 100 acre site for the Air Force Academy amid local opposition from some property owners. The chosen location near Colorado Springs sits at 6400 to 7500 feet altitude with a semi arid climate. A temporary academy will open at Lowry AFB in Denver next year, with the fully operating school expected within two years. The Air Force will source its officer corps from Army and Navy graduates.
