− The leading flight school in the [[Federated Suns]], if not the whole [[Inner Sphere]], the '''Armstrong Flight Academy''' has been graduating some of the most talented pilots of the [[AFFS]] for over three hundred years. The academy is co-located at [[Galax]] in close proximity to [[Federated-Boeing Interstellar]], the largest spacecraft manufacturer in the Inner Sphere. This makes it possible for both to benefit with the Academy gaining the experience of the company's top engineers and test pilots, and Federated-Boeing the opportunity to test their designs.<ref name=FMFS40/> + The leading flight school in the [[Federated Suns]], if not the whole [[Inner Sphere]], the '''Armstrong Flight Academy''' has been graduating some of the [[AFFC]]s most talented pilots for over three hundred years.

The academy is specialized in teaching only naval oriented courses such as aerospace pilots and naval technicians. It is so highly specialized in fact, that the Flight Academy employs use of Galax's military training camp to teach basic training to their cadets. This outsourcing allows the Academy to focus on teaching the best piloting and technician skills possible.

− In the early years of the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]], Galax fell under attack, and was rendered uninhabitable. As part of Federated-Boeing's move to [[Delavan]], the Armstrong Flight Academy was also moved. The severe disruption caused by the move, and the events of the Jihad, reduced the Academy's output and restricted the types of training available.
