Austin Aitro, Cadet, U.S. Air Force

Austin Aitro is now a 1st Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force.

Prior to this rank, Cadet Austin Aitro was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force Academy during its April 18 Class of 2020 graduation ceremony.

Austin was awarded a Bachelor of Science in systems engineering with an aeronautical focus. He will be working with the 1st Operations Group at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia while he awaits undergraduate pilot training.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Austin’s family members had to send him virtual cheers during the live-streamed graduation ceremony.

Austin is the son of Fred and Hamden Hall staff member Vicki Aitro; his sister, Samantha, is in the Hamden Hall Class of 2021; and his grandfather, Anthony Aitro, 85, a U.S. Army veteran, gave Austin his first virtual salute during the ceremony.
