The Royal Gristo-Serkonan Air Force (Nordic: Luftforsvarsstyrker lit. 'Air Defence Forces') (Kanienʼkéha: Atëhna’tsí’ks'atahensic lit. 'Those who fly with the Wind Spirit') is the air and space force of Gristol-Serkonos. Its role is to provide the Armed Forces with credible, responsible and effective airpower. As of 2020, the RGSAF consists of 743 operational aircraft, operated by 32,831 active personnel and 9,000 reserve personnel. The Air Force is further supported by 2,800 civilian personnel. Air Force Marshal Ákat Garisto is the current commander of the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Air Force as well as the Chief of the Air Force Staff.
The RGSAF was formed in 1920 as the Gristo-Serkonan Army Air Force Command, the air force component of the Gristo-Serkonan Army. In 1924, it operated the aircraft stationed in Royal Gristo-Serkonan Navy ships. The Air Force will not become its own command until 1993 when reorganization of the Armed Forces occurred. The Naval and Army Commands were transferred to their branches becoming the Naval Aviation Group and the Army Aviation Group respectively. The remaining air units were consolidated under the Air Force Command name. Air Force Command would later by renamed the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Air Force in 2019.
