The '''Reykani Air Force''' ([[Reykani]]=Flugherinn Reykani),([[Salisfordian]]: Aeronautica Militare Recania)  is the [[air force]] of [[Reykanes]]. It was established as a separate arm of the [[Reykani Defence]] on 10 November 1950. The FR's peacetime establishment is approximately 950 employees (officers, enlisted staff and civilians). 600 personnel also serve their draft period in the FR. After [[mobilization]] the FR would consist of approximately 1050 personnel. Its mission is to guard and protect the sovereignty of Reykani airspace, and jointly with the other branches, to protect territorial integrity. It is the smallest of the three branches in the Reykani Defence.

After the Communist revolution ended, the country was in the process of reforming the military. The Reykani People's Air Force was created on 10 November 1950. It inherited the planes from the Army of Reykanes, which was outdated by a lot. In the start of the jet age, with biplanes, the Air Force was already obsolete, it was powerless against a modern air force. It was viewed as the weak point by many. The first main mission was to modernize the air force as quickly as possible. The Air Force expanded rapidly with aircraft exported from other socialist countries, like when Reykanes recieved 50 Kislota Ki-21's from Zloveshchiy, which proved vital for the Air Force, they were in use till 1979.
