Sheppard AFB KSPS 97th FTS Airfield vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
Since 1998, the 97th Flying Training Squadron (97 FTS) has been part of the 340th Flying Training Group and is the Reserve associate to the 80th Flying Training Wing based at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. It operates T – 6A Texan II and T – 38C Talon aircraft conducting flight training. The squadron trains and provides experienced pilots to augment Air Education and Training Command’s Euro – NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training where 14 NATO countries earn their wings. The 97th FTS emblem is the stylized face of a Devil Cat, trimmed in red and black with white tusks and green eyes on a blue background. The Devil Cat, neither cat nor wolf, has roamed the steppes of Asiatic Russia for generations. Its awesome appearance is but mildly indicative of the beast’s true ferocity, of its almost diabolical wiliness and daring. In all of central and northern Asia, no animal real or legendary excites a greater respect or fear among the hardened and barbaric peoples of this vast hinterland. The Devil Cat portrays the endurance, courage, resourcefulness and ferocity, which the 97th FTS emulates.
