First held in 1982, it brought together these fifteen legendary aviators to share their experiences with students through interviews, lectures, and social events. The program began in 1980, when ACSC invited retired Brigadier General Paul W. Tibbets to Maxwell AFB, Alabama, to recount his flying experiences and has since honored more than 450 Eagles.
