The Hellenic Air Force Academy (Greek:Σχολή Ικάρων) is a military academy responsible for supplying the Hellenic Air Force with professionally trained pilots. It was founded in 1919 as the Military Academy of Aeronautics (Greek:Στρατιωτική Σχολή Αεροπλοΐας).
In 1967 it was renamed as The Icarus School in reference to the figure of Icarus in ancient Greek mythology. The figure of Icarus forms the centrepiece of the academy's insignia.
