Members of the Retired Commissioned Air Force Officers Association (RCAFOA) have held their highly anticipated end of year luncheon at the Air Force Officer's Mess on Thursday 14 December 2023.

The event characterised with melodious tunes amid wining and dining was aimed at bringing together both serving and retired commissioned Air Force Officers together to mark the end of the year.

It also serves as an event to remind retired Officers of their invaluable contributions in safeguarding the peace of the country and their ongoing role of shaping the future of the Air Force even as retired Officers.

Delivering his address, the Guest of Honour and Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Vice Marshal Frederick Asare Kwasi Bekoe acknowledged the sacrifices made by the retired Officers and thanked them for their service to the nation.
