KITTY HAWK AIR SOCIETY (KHAS)

The Kitty Hawk Air Society is a national AFJROTC academic honor society that recognizes high academic achievement by cadets, provides additional leadership and educational opportunities, encourages service and excellence, and furthers members’ knowledge of the role of air, space and cyber power. Members of KHAS, once inducted, will receive a certificate of recognition and will wear the KHAS badge on the uniform. KHAS members are also authorized to wear the infantry blue KHAS shoulder cord.
