The main university in this regard is the VUNC of the Air Force "Air Force Academy" named after Zhukovsky and Gagarin. The Russian military university, from the walls of which, over the years of its existence and under its various names, a whole galaxy of outstanding pilots and cosmonauts came out, celebrated its centenary.
