Asli Hassan Abade, a pioneer in the Somali Air Force.
The Somali Aeronautical Corps (SAC) was the name of the Somali Air Force during the pre-independence (19541960) period. After 1960, when Somalia gained independence, the name changed to the Somali Air Force. The SAF at one point had the strongest airstrike capability in the Horn of Africa.
