										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The graduation of eight new pilots significantly enhances the operational capacity of the Kenya Air Force. The ceremony took place on <strong>April 30, 2026</strong>, at Laikipia Air Base. This event marks a key milestone in the country’s military aviation training programme.</p>
<p>The Kenya Air Force graduated eight new fixed-wing pilots who completed the Ab-initio Course ACE 05. The course began in March 2022 and included intensive ground instruction and flight training. Senior officers, instructors, service members, and families attended the ceremony.</p>
<p>Bernard Waliaula presided over the graduation. He emphasized that aviation demands uncompromising standards. Douglas Muthuri stated that the graduates are fully prepared for deployment into active service units.</p>
<p>This graduation represents a strategic investment in strengthening Kenya’s air power capability. It aims to enhance national defence by preparing pilots for various combat scenarios. Teamwork in air operations was a critical focus during their training.</p>
