KDF donates working aircraft to Moi Forces Academy school -Lanet in boost to girls’ aviation training.
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has donated a military aircraft to the Moi Forces Academy-Lanet for aviation studies.
The donation was made after the school launched an Aviation Technology subject, becoming the first National Girls’ School to offer it in the country.
According to KDF, the donation will help the over 50 students currently enrolled in the subject gain practical exposure to aviation operations.
Further, KDF defied the norm, where some of the donations that have been made in the past were mainly decommissioned planes, by donating a fully functional training aircraft.
”Moi Forces Academy-Lanet launched the Aviation Technology subject, becoming the first National Girls School to offer it in the country,” KDF shared.
”The event themed ‘Demystifying Aviation’ saw the school acquire a fully functional training aircraft which will henceforth provide the over 50 students currently enrolled for the subject a practical exposure to aviation operations.”
Moi Forces Academy-Lanet will now officially be the first girls’ national school to offer aviation studies as a subject.
Mang’u High School was the first in Kenya to introduce Aviation Technology as an examinable subject, with technical areas of study such as propulsion, thermodynamics, and meteorology.

Students undertake practical studies at Wilson Airport and Moi Air Force Base in Embakasi, and were recently donated a decommissioned plane for studies by the national career.
Other schools that offer aviation include Moi Forces Academy in Nairobi and Maseno School in Kisumu County.
Maseno School introduced Aviation Technology into its curriculum under the leadership of former principal Paul Otula.
The donation to Moi Forces Academy-Lanet is expected to inspire other girls’ schools across the country to embrace aviation, following in the footsteps of trailblazers like Kenya Air Force Commander Major General Fatuma Gaiti Ahmed.
