 It is one of the largest American air forces (after the United States, Brazil and Peru) 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.
