Question: Kautokeino Airport was rebuilt in 1958 by an air force that was established as a separate arm of the army in what year ?
Context: The Czech Air Force (Czech: "Vzdušné síly Armády České republiky", literally the "Air Force of the Army of the Czech Republic"), is the air force branch of the Army of the Czech Republic.  Along with the Land Forces, the Air Force is the major Czech military force.  With traditions of military aviation dating back to 1918, the Czech Air Force, together with the Slovak Air Force, succeeded the Czechoslovak Air Force in 1993.  On 1 July 1997, the 3rd Tactical Aviation Corps and the 4th Air Defence Corps of the Czech Army were merged to form an independent Air Force Headquarters. The Air Force Longevity Service Award is a military award of the United States Air Force established by Air Force General Order 60, on 25 November 1957 by General Thomas D. White, Air Force Chief of Staff.  The award was primarily created as an Air Force equivalent to the service stripes used by other branches of the United States military to denote years of military service.  The award is retroactive to the establishment of the U.S. Air Force as an independent service in September 1947.  The ribbon is also retroactive for any service with the U.S. Army Air Forces, U.S. Army Air Corps, or U.S. Army Air Service prior to the creation of the U.S. Air Force as a separate service as long as the serviceman was on Active Duty on or after 18 September 1947. Kautokeino Airport (Norwegian: "Kautokeino flyplass" ; IATA: QKX, ICAO: ENKA ) is a general aviation airport located in Kautokeino, Norway.  It consists of a 1200 m gravel runway.  The airport was built by the Luftwaffe during World War II.  It was rebuilt in 1958 by the Royal Norwegian Air Force to supply its radar station at Kautokeino.  It is largely unused and is now owned by the Norwegian Directorate of Public Construction and Property and the Finnmark Estate.  Local politicians have called for the airport to be upgraded to a regional airport, but this has been rejected by Avinor. The following is a list of Australians who have attained air marshal rank within the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF); that is, service personnel who have held the rank of air chief marshal (four-star rank), air marshal (three-star rank) or air vice marshal (two-star rank).  The Royal Australian Air Force was established in 1921 as a separate branch of the Australian military forces.  The service was modelled after the Royal Air Force—formed three years earlier—and adopted the same ranking system.  Richard Williams, regarded as the "father" of the Royal Australian Air Force, was the service's first member to obtain air-officer rank on being promoted to air commodore (one-star rank) in 1927; he went on to become the first air vice marshal (1935) and air marshal (1940).  In 1965, Sir Frederick Scherger became the first officer to be advanced to air chief marshal, one of only four members of the Royal Australian Air Force to obtain this rank as of June 2014.  A further nineteen individuals have reached air marshal in the RAAF and 126 air vice marshal; seven officers have retired with the honorary rank of air vice marshal. The United States Air Force Academy is an undergraduate college in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the mission of educating and commissioning officers for the United States Air Force.  The Academy was established in 1954, entered its first class in 1955, and graduated its first class in 1959.  All students hold the Air Force rank of "Cadet."  Sports media refer to the Academy as "Air Force"; this usage is officially endorsed.  Most cadets are admitted through a congressional appointment system.  The curriculum is broad-based but has traditionally emphasized science and engineering.  Before the Academy's first graduating class in 1959, the United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy were the primary sources of officers for the Air Force and its predecessors, the Army Air Corps and Army Air Forces.  Though the primary focus of the Academy is for the Air Force, some graduates are given the option of "cross-commissioning" into the United States Army, United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, or United States Coast Guard. Maj. Gen. George G. Finch became the Senior Leader of the US Air National Guard; (Chief of the Air Division National Guard Bureau) (1948-1950) In June 1953 it was reported that Gen. Mark W. Clark would retire and be replaced by Maj. Gen George G. Finch on the UN command delegation to the Korean armistice talks George G. Finch, born April 11, 1902 in Dade City, Florida, is considered one of the pioneers in United States aviation history.  He began his military career during World War 1, enlisting in the Aviation Section of the Army's Signal Corps in 1918.  He remained in the Reserve Corps after the war, and in 1926, became Commander, 27th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group.  In 1940, Georgia Governor Ed Rivers commissioned him to form the first flying unit of the Georgia Air National Guard.  The unit was mobilized into the U.S. Army in September, 1941, with Major Finch as commander.  After World War II, he was a leading critic of efforts to eliminate the air arm of the National Guard during peacetime.  General Finch gained the respect and admiration of Air National Guardsmen throughout the nation with his steadfast support and successful efforts to preserve the Air Guard.  He became the first Chief of the Air Force Division of the National Guard Bureau in 1948.  Under his leadership, the Air National Guard built to combat readiness and was among the first components called into service after the outbreak of the Korean War.  As a result of General Finch's vision and perseverance, 45,000 highly trained officers and airmen of 22 wings and 65 squadrons gave the Air Force the strength it needed in the early, critical phases of the Communist drive down the Korean peninsula.General Finch served as the senior Air Force member of the United Nations negotiating team at the peace talks at Panmunjom, Korea, and received the Legion of Merit for outstanding service in 1955; General Finch assumed command of Fourteenth Air Force, Robins AFB, Georgia, becoming the nation's first Air National Guardsman to head a numbered air force.  General Finch had a career of "firsts" including the US Army's first night landing with a single, five-million-candlepower floodlight in 1927.  He also established and endowed the General John P. McConnell Award at the United States Air Force Academy.  Considered by many as the father of the strong, independent Air National Guard existing today, General Finch retired in 1957.  No man has had greater impact on the Air Force Reserve and National Guard than has General George G. Finch.A graduate of the University of Georgia and a member of the Georgia Bar, General Finch was enshrined in the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame May 18, 1996. The Office of Inspector General of the Air Force for the United States Air Force is responsible for conducting investigations and inspections as directed by the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force.  The position in the Air Force was originally established after World War II as The Air Inspector, which was carried over from the Army Air Forces.  The current mission of the Air Force Inspector General is prescribed by Title 10 (§ 8020) and Title 32 of the United States Code (§ 105) to develop Air Force and Air National Guard policy to assess readiness, discipline and efficiency with a vision to help shape senior leader decisions affecting the readiness of the Air Force to strengthen the nation's defense. The French Air Force (French: "Armée de l'air" ] , literally "air army") is the air force of the French Armed Forces.  It was formed in 1909 as the "Service Aéronautique", a service arm of the French Army, then was made an independent military arm in 1934.  The number of aircraft in service with the French Air Force varies depending on source, however sources from the French Ministry of Defence give a figure of 658 aircraft in 2014.  The French Air Force has 241 combat aircraft in service, with the majority being 133 Dassault Mirage 2000 and 108 Dassault Rafale.  As of early 2017, the French Air Force employs a total of 41,160 regular personnel.  The reserve element of the air force consisted of 5,187 personnel of the Operational Reserve. The Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF) (Norwegian: "Luftforsvaret" ) is the air force of Norway.  It was established as a separate arm of the Norwegian armed forces on 10 November 1944.  The RNoAF's peacetime establishment is approximately 1,430 employees (officers, enlisted staff and civilians).  600 personnel also serve their draft period in the RNoAF.  After mobilization the RNoAF would consist of approximately 5,500 personnel. David R.
