Brief history
Not really a part of the Defence Force, but ressorting under various Ministries are aerial assets that are worth mentioning. Firstly, there is the Ministry of Works and Transport that is repsonsible for the all-important VVIP transport duties as well. To that end, they operate the Government Air Transport Services equipped with modern business jets and helicopters. Homebase is Eros Intl, Windhoek.
Secondly, the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, controls the Fisheries patrol unit. Currently, they operate two fixed wing aircraft, Reims-Cessna CeF406s, and a single Sikorsky S-61L helicopter out of Walvis Bay.
