The Reykani Air Force (RAF) (Template:Lang-no) is the air force of Reykanes. It was established as a separate arm of the Norwegian Armed Forces on 10 November 1950. The RAF's peacetime establishment is approximately 950 employees (officers, enlisted staff and civilians). 600 personnel also serve their draft period in the RAF. After mobilization the RAF would consist of approximately 1050 personnel.
The infrastructure of the RAF includes seven airbases (at Ørland, Rygge, Andøya, Evenes, Bardufoss, Bodø and Gardermoen), one control and reporting centre (at Sørreisa) and three training centres at Værnes in Trondheim, Kjevik in Kristiansand and at KNM Harald Haarfagre/Madlaleiren in Stavanger.
