Silver Wings
About Silver Wings
Silver Wings is a national, co-ed, professional organization dedicated to creating proactive, knowledgeable, and effective civic leaders through community service and education about national defense. It is made up largely of civilians interested in personal development, leadership, service, and support of our military personnel.
Our history
Originally known as Angel Flight, Silver Wings was founded at the University of Omaha in 1951 to support the mission of Arnold Air Society, and formed as a national organization the following year. The organization took the name Silver Wings in 1998.
Today Silver Wings works jointly with Arnold Air Society nationwide, and remains committed to developing strong military and civilian leaders who possess an understanding of aerospace power. Membership is open to civilian students and to cadets, midshipmen, and officer candidates from any service.
