The 1942 Albuquerque Army Air Base Base Flying Kellys football team, sometimes known as the Flying Colin Kellys,[1] represented Albuquerque Army Air Base (Albuquerque AAB), located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the 1942 college football season. The Flying Kellys compiled a 5–4 record, not including an October 30 intra-squad game in which the starters defeated the substitutes.[2] Captain Ted Shipkey (head coach at New Mexico before the war) was the head coach, and Ted Wright was the assistant coach.[3] Wright served as acting head coach against Arizona State due to an injury to Shipkey.[4]

The team utilized the "accordion shuffle shift" offense that Shipkey had developed during his tenure as head coach with the New Mexico Lobos.[5]

The team was named after Colin Kelly, an Army aviator who was killed when his B-17 Flying Fortress was shot down in combat on December 10, 1941.[6][7] The Air Base also adopted a New Mexico mountain burro as its mascot.[8]
