Indonesian Air Force Academy
The Air Force Academy (Indonesian: Akademi Angkatan Udara or AAU) sometimes shortened as IDAFA, is a service academy of the Indonesian Air Force, the air force component of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Academy System or the AKABRI. Its campus is located in the Adisutjipto Air Force Base complex in Yogyakarta, Special Region of Yogyakarta and trains men and women to become commissioned officers of the Indonesian Air Force. Of all the service academies in Indonesia, despite the AAU having been opened in November 1945 (and thus is the second oldest), it has roots dating back to 1921.
