Pakistan Air Force Academy, Military training facility and airport in Risalpur, Pakistan
The Pakistan Air Force Academy is a military training facility and airport in Risalpur, northwest of the country. The site houses two main institutions for flight training and aeronautical engineering that prepare future officers for operational duty.
The site began as a Royal Flying Corps airfield in the early 20th century and initially served British units. After independence, the facility developed into the central training location for Pakistani air forces.
The institution shapes future military leaders through physical training, debates, sports competitions, and social activities in the Cadets' Mess facilities.
The facility is a military site not generally open to the public. Those interested in aviation history can learn about the site's role through regional archives or local collections.
The College of Aeronautical Engineering follows educational standards modeled after the United States Air Force Institute of Technology.
