25 Years of War Eagle Flights
Celebrating a Legacy. Soaring into the Future.
For a quarter century, the eagles of Auburn University Raptor Center have soared over Jordan-Hare Stadium, igniting the crowd and emboldening the Auburn spirit. What began as a humble flight from the endzone to the 50-yard line has become one of the most iconic traditions in all of college athletics.
Now, we invite you to be part of the next chapter.
Join us as we commemorate 25 years of War Eagle Flights with stories, exciting events, limited-edition merchandise, and opportunities to support the future of the Auburn University Raptor Center.
The War Eagle Tradition
War Eagle is more than a battle cry—it’s a living emblem of Auburn’s fearless and true spirit.
Since 2000, pregame flights have brought tradition to life in breathtaking fashion. With each pass over Jordan-Hare Stadium, our War Eagle rallies the crowd, stirs the soul, and reminds us that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.
The War Eagles may change over the years, but that feeling never does.
