UPDATE: CAFB trio cut from AGT

COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. - Three members of the 14th Student Squadron (STUS) at CAFB are in the semifinals of “America’s Got Talent,” a nationally televised talent competition. When the competition started in March, all 16 members of the singing group, “In the Stairwell,” were cadets at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. Since then, five have graduated and are commissioned officers. Second Lts. Ryan Douglas, Colin Klopp and John Testerman are assigned to 14th STUS. The group has survived three rounds of competition, and the first round of the live shows. All three rounds have taken place in Los Angeles. The group will appear in the live semifinals show Sept. 12. After the show, Douglas, Klopp and Testerman will resume pilot training, and start Initial Flight Training at the Academy later in September. After IFT, the trio will begin Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training at Columbus AFB.
