In the summer of 2007, a spectre of evil at the United States Air Force Academy swept across the T-zo and "Form 10"ed countless cadets... this video is in honor of those who have fallen to the Lightning Van and those who have yet to encounter its horror. Everytime the Lightning Early Warning System (LEWS) sounds, watch out for this vessel of terror...

*** This video went on to win the Air Force Academy's Base Safety Award for raising awareness about lightning safety procedures. ***

  • Holy Lightning Van, Batman! Graduation is in two days! :P Anyway, gratulations on graduating from USAFA (on Wednesday, anyway). Did anyone of you five service select UPT?

  • 4 out of the 5 of us will be doing UPT - two in Del Rio, one in Enid, and one in Mississippi.

  • Amazing. Epic. But hopefully not Back Stair Studios' last hurrah before graduation...

  • Perhaps one more is in the works...

  • I love it, but I don't understand. What's the rule behind this?

  • At USAFA, we have a "lightning alley" of sorts, so to protect the interests of the American Taxpayer, the Lightning Van patrols the common courtyard area during a lightning warning (lightning within 5 miles)... it has become the bane of many a cadet's existence and therefore deserving of mockery.
