The Kitty Hawk Air Society (KHAS) is the official Air Force JROTC Honor Society. The name Kitty Hawk was chosen for the organization because it relates to the beginning of aerospace activities just as AFJROTC relates to the beginning of a cadet's aviation career. This AFJROTC Honorary Society promotes academic excellence, service, and patriotism. An invitation to join will be extended only to cadets who have an “A” average in their AFJROTC courses and an overall “90%” school average. A distinctive badge will be awarded upon indoctrination into this elite society.
