Excellence & Beyond

Bashar AB includes two air bases; Tejgaon (the old International Airport of Dhaka) and Kurmitola (the new Zia International Airport of Dhaka).
5sq and 35sq pool their a/c.

The squadron operating the A-5 (21sq) also uses a small number of FT-6s for training duties. The flying characteristics of the FT-6 resemble those of the A-5 (of which no dual-seat version is available). This one, 10332, has adopted a smart looking colour scheme.
