About WPAS
Founded by aviators, for aviators. Building the premier network for West Point graduates in aviation and aerospace.
Born from the Long Gray Line
The West Point Aerospace Society began as conversations between classmates scattered across different airlines, military units, and aerospace companies. We realized that while we had world-class training and shared values, there was no organized way to help each other succeed.
Founded in 2020 by members of the Class of 2014, WPAS fills that gap. We're building the network we wished we had—one where a cadet considering aviation can talk to someone who's been there, where a transitioning officer gets insider guidance, and where industry veterans can give back to those following in their footsteps.
