Male and female youths are currently undergoing training in basic and advanced aviation courses at relevant training camps across Myanmar. They come from various regions and states, but have gathered at the training camps in unity to study basic and advanced aviation techniques together.
Officials from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief (Air) yearly arrange excursion trips for the youth trainees to significant locations, including airbases and notable landmarks in various regions, so they can observe the aviation duties and functions of the respective airbases and broaden their general knowledge. Under the supervision of instructors and teachers, trainees from all camps observed the daily routines of members of the Tatmadaw (Air) as well as aircraft mechanical techniques.
During the excursion trips, the youth trainees have opportunities to observe cockpit facilities in aircraft and helicopters, aircraft structures, flight instruments, and engine instruments. Moreover, officials from the airbases explained the flight and combat capabilities of aircraft and helicopters, the operational roles of these aircraft, the history of Tatmadaw (Air), and the deployment of aircraft in aviation operations, including close air support in relevant military operations. Whenever they visited the airbases, the youths were also able to observe aviation technology and the capabilities of aircraft used in military operations, rescue and relief operations during natural disasters, and the transport of cargo and supplies to areas where they are needed.
Some may think that aviation technology is highly advanced and that the trainees may find it difficult to understand aviation and mechanical techniques. This is understandable, as even the technicians of the Tatmadaw (Air) have had to work hard to master these skills. However, the observation activities and visits to airbases could greatly inspire these youths and encourage them to set goals of becoming skilled pilots or aviation technicians in the future.
These dreams and experiences gained through excursion trips and training courses will benefit the youths in shaping their future goals and career choices. In time, some of these aspirations may become reality. Therefore, it is important for everyone to support young people in pursuing their ambitions and building their futures. These excursion trips and aviation courses have helped many youths become capable and courageous pilots and personnel of Tatmadaw (Air). They are now carrying out their assigned duties for the State with dedication and sacrifice, while also making the most of valuable opportunities in their lives. Therefore, youths should be encouraged to independently shape their futures based on their own ambitions and aspirations.
