Protect the Skies • Protect The Revolutionary Computer Union
The Union's Air Force protects the TCU from threats from the skies; as the name suggests, it is the Air Force of TGRA. The current Air Marshal is ReaperAze, who is assisted by his Vice Air Marshal, unknown.
Union's Airforce members spawn opposing the Bulldog Brigade by the runway. They are the only members of the TCU with complete, unrestricted access to the airbase and may also enter the City and the Border.
Traditionally, Airforce members will fulfill their duties through planes and have roughly the same power as a Border Guard on foot; as such, they are only granted the bare necessities for their on-foot duties.
The Airforce is the current smallest TGRA division and is considered the hardest division to get into, as they have a low acceptance rate during tryouts, and ATC applications are considered incredibly difficult.
During the early existence of the Union's Airforce, it was known to be one of the most elite divisions next to Spedsnaz in TGRA. The name of the airbase is Airbase Injected, named after the former 1IC Injected (Dlmoroc).
Basic equipment provided to all airforce members for on-foot duties.
Unique access and spawning privileges for airforce members.
Once you pass the tryout, you will be admitted into the Union's Airforce as a Cadet. Cadets may not fly, and you must finish a deadline (pass an exam) to become a Junior Pilot.
You may practice the flight stage by joining the Airforce Academy game, clicking on the steel door with the old Revolutionary Computer Union logo above it, and then teleporting to the practice server. You will then be teleported to a practice server, where you are allowed to freely practice the obby and flying parts of the tryout.

As an ATC member, you guide the pilots on their missions, allowing them to take off, land, and handle emergency scenarios that may occur during flight. As an ATC member, you may not be allowed to fly planes; however, you play a big part in ensuring pilot safety.
To join the Air Traffic Control (ATC) branch, you must submit an application, which is occasionally sent in the #smaller-announcements channel of the TCU main Discord.
To pass this application, you must answer questions on things that may happen in real life, ensuring they are accurate without the use of AI, as that would get you blacklisted from ATC and the Air Airforce as a whole.
