Air Chief Marshal Chalit Pookpasuk is a Thai air force officer, Commander of the Royal Thai Air Force, and a deputy in the military junta that overthrew the government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a 2006 military coup. Chalit graduated from the Royal Thai Air Force Academy and held many key positions in the Air Force. Prior to becoming Commander of the Air Force, he was the Air Force's Chief of Staff. Chalit was reportedly reluctant to support the coup - Army troops had surrounded Air Force Headquarters on the night of the coup to ensure that Chalit and the Air Force did not provide any resistance.
