Afghanistan gets an air force

C-27 SpartanNATO reports that the President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, has decreed that the Afghan National Army Air Corps (ANAAC) can now call itself an Air Force.

According to written guidance to the Minister of Defence and the Chief of the Afghan General Staff, the ANAAC will now be known as the Afghan National Army Air Force.

The current inventory consists of helicopters and transport aircraft, the most modern being the refurbished G222 transporters provided by the US Government as C-27s.
