Tuesday, April 7th

This is your official Air Force Academy history update for Tuesday, April 7th.

On this day back in 1958, the Mitchell Foundation, which would go on to become the Falcon Foundation,

is incorporated in Texas.

The objective of the nonprofit was to fund civilian preparatory school attendants or prospective

academy cadets who did not qualify for direct entry into the academy.

Also on this day, back in 2022, the Irish Sea Eaker Distinguished Lecture on National

Defense Policy takes place in the Arnold Hall Theatre.

Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, spoke to cadets with the Superintendent Lieutenant

General Richard Clark, Class of 86, hosting the conversation.
