Big changes are coming for Colorado Springs. The Army Reserve will be retiring many of its helicopter units here at Fort Carson. About 145 soldiers from the aviation brigade at Fort Carson will be directly impacted. For decades, these crews have been part of our city’s story—helping our community in big ways—like helping with mountain rescues on Pikes Peak, emergencies, and keeping a strong tie between the military and our local way of life.
As a former Apache helicopter pilot myself, I know the deep impact of losing this kind of air support. It’s not just military news—it touches our community, our families, and even our housing market. Colorado Springs is built around our military presence, and when units leave, it influences everything from the people we see at local coffee shops to the neighbors moving in or out of our neighborhoods. It’s another reminder of how closely our housing market and culture are tied to the men and women who serve right here at home.
