The path to becoming a pilot of this prestigious Airwing is a long and daunting one. It takes a large amount of intestinal fortitude, among other things, just to survive the training academy and its instructors. Pilots who successfully graduate from the academy are greeted with open arms of comrades. The 105th Airwing is not just a group of pilots, it is not just a squadron, or just a band of brothers. The 105th Airwing is a family, with each member bringing a unique personality and set of abilities to the playing field.
