U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Elizabeth Music, 47th Student Squadron commander, leads the “Breaking of the Wings” tradition during the Class 24-07 Undergraduate Pilot Training graduation ceremony at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, March 22, 2024. The “Breaking of the Wings” is a tradition said to bring good fortune throughout a pilot’s career.
