:: Welcome to National Defence Academy ::Nestled in the northern corner of the vast estate of the Academy is the 'Glider-Drome' - the business end of activities at the Air Force Training Team (AFTT). The genesis of team can be traced to a need for more aware and better trained aircrew - a need, brought about with the advent of Jet age in the IAF. From modest beginnings of a rough strip and winch launched gliders, the team has come a long way and today, boasts of a metalled runway 950m long and state-of-the art powered sailplanes.
