basketball skills, obstacle course and swimming. The idea is to prepare athletes for evading enemy soldiers. It is generally only participated by military personnel of the armed forces.
The sports are said to represent various aspects of flying, such as shooting and basketball for hand-eye coordination and fencing for combat. There is also a flying contest included

The sport was started in 1948 and there are both world championships and continental and regional championships.
