Seniors Justin Brand and Aleks Olesiak ponder their impending graduation.

The class of 2019 has plenty to say, and during this time of year we will hear many forlorn farewells and sage morsels of wisdom. However, on a much lighter note, let’s not forget to acknowledge our goofier, more sarcastic side.

Throughout our four years at Air Academy, we have accrued a wide variety of sardonic jokes, insider knowledge on the secret workings of Air Academy, and favorite quotes that capture the high school experience.

So, without further ado, here is the voice of the class of 2019–revealed through our incredibly refined sense of humor.
