Established 04th February 2000

CHRONICLE - Archive Pages show the eventful history of pioneering military VA, Mil-Air. Established back in February 1998, Mil-Air is among the few VAs that operated continuously and the oldest in military FS flying. Through these pages present aviators get an opportunity to see how Mil-Air reached to its current standard.
