Welcome to the Army Air Corps Association
Check out the images below - all from a hugely successful day which saw Army Air Corps (AAC) personnel from across our units, ‘take over’ Army Jobs’ social media platforms.
The event attracted thousands of 'likes' and new followers to our own channels; it also succeeded in boosting British public awareness and understanding of the key role combat aviation plays in the future of Defence and ignited active interest in the multiple career and exciting lifestyle opportunities the AAC offer to recruits.

Fayzan Ashraf did. As he says in the video below: "...deep down inside of me I just wanted more from life. I wanted more of a challenge; that's ultimately what led me to joining the Army."
Fayzan commissioned into the Army Air Corps as a Ground Officer in December 2023.
He is now Second Lieutenant Ashraf, currently a Ground Support Flight Commander with 1 Regiment Army Air Corps (AAC) based at Yeovilton, Somerset, where the AAC crews operate the Wildcat helicopter.
