  Inside the DEA, DEA Programs, Aviation
Management of the aviation resources came under the direction of a chief pilot, who utilized experienced special agents as pilots, which gave the program the expertise necessary to perform a wide range of enforcement missions that would be impossible with the use of civilian pilots.
Further evidence of the expansion and importance of the OA to the DEA's enforcement mission is the move to new facilities at Ft. Worth, Texas, Alliance Airport in February 1994.
The new facility, known as the Aviation Operations Center, is the primary maintenance facility for the Office of Aviation fleet of aircraft, and headquarters to OA's supervisory and administrative personnel, as well as contractor personnel.
