context_page_description: The Colombian Air Force or FAC is the Air Force of the Republic of Colombia.
  The Colombian Air Force is one of the three institutions of the Military Forces of Colombia charged, according to the 1991 Constitution, working to exercise and maintain control of Colombia's airspace and to defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity and constitutional order. It is one of the largest American air forces and has increased its activity due to important roles in the fight against narco-terrorism.
  The FAC has been used in observation and aerial combat missions since the Colombian-Peruvian war of 1932 and also operated during the Second World War in the islands of San Andrés. It has never assisted in ousting an elected government by force, but has helped quell many rebellions.
