Mustache March is an Air Force tradition that calls on Airmen to grow their mustaches during the month of March in solidarity with Robin Olds.

Olds was a pilot who fought in the Vietnam War and grew his mustache as a good-natured way to protest against the U.S. Air Force’s facial hair regulations at that time.

Edwards AFB Wing Staff Agency hosted a special event on March 28, 2024, to recognize the mustaches grown around base. Here are the winners:

The Robin Olds: Col. Matthews Caspers, 412th Test Wing deputy commander

Most Disturbing Mustache: Chief Master Sgt. Justin Stoltzfus, 412th Test Wing Command Chief Master Sergeant

The Mustache That Could: Col. Doug Wickert, 412th Test Wing commander

Best Overall Mustache: Michael Seelos, 412th Test Wing Director of Staff

Most Fitting Mustache: Senior Airman Tristan Tiideberg, 412th Test Wing Executive Administrator

Mustache March ends when Airmen shave their mustaches on the last day of March.
