29 years of Wing Commander Academy! But only 28 years and 364 days for me because my parents’ cable went out ten minutes before the premiere.

Wing Commander Academy started 29 years ago today on USA Network.

The cartoon (13 episodes) recounted the dramatic adventures of a group of space cadets on the Terran carrier Tiger's Claw in total war against a hostile, alien, lion-looking warrior race, the Kilrathi.
