History
Anahuense Revolution
The foundation of the Anahuacian airforce was led by six Anahuacian flight pioneers who were sent to Riamo by to master flying. They returned to Anahuac in 1913 not only as founders, but also teachers for the next generation of pilots.
Anahuac's airforce started under the name of Republic of Anahuac Air Force (Fuerza Aérea de la República de Anáhuac; FARA), created during the Anahuense Revolution in April 1913 by the Minister of War and Navy Aristóteles Obregón, who authorized pilots Abraham Valparaíso and José Luis Herrera to test out bomb targets on Campo Stratos, the first airport in Anahuac, now located in Jardín Bartolomeo in San Jorge Xayacatlán.
