Lt. Col. Mike Mariotti and Cadet 2nd Class Seren Marley return from a T-53A training mission at the Air Force Academy, Colo., Aug. 23, 2017. The Academy's Airmanship programs are designed to expose, motivate and challenge cadets to become successful leaders, as well as lay the foundation for the personal and professional discipline required to succeed as an Air Force aviator, a path approximately half of USAFA cadets pursue upon graduation.
