After 50 years of serving retired military officers and their families, Air Force Village in 2014 expanded its eligibility to include all former military personnel as well as seniors without a military background. As part of the transition, the two campuses located in San Antonio are now known as Blue Skies of Texas East and Blue Skies of Texas West.
The name Blue Skies is an ode to the phrase of airmen’s best wishes, “blue skies and tailwinds,” and reflects the idea that blue skies and unlimited possibilities are ahead as the community continues to grow.
