The National Frisian Air Force was formed in 1907 and was first established for aerial reconnaissance missions during the Red Revolt after the revolutionaries began conducting unconventional warfare that would normally be undetectable on the ground by the army, so the need for aerial reconnaissance became a demand by the army which lead to the Minister of War to look into aviation from around the world to fit this need. The air force stayed a reconnaissance force for a while until the need for a faster method of infantry support was demanded by the army to help support large-scale infantry campaigns and Airborne Assaults against Frisia-Hollandia leading to the NFAF conducting combat operations and close air support.
The National Frisian Air Force's main base of operations is stationed in Grutteoerwinning and has a budget of ƒ12,175,625,000, there is currently 600 personnel in active service as of 2022 and currently employs 12 SB-2, 45 AJ-9E, 2 GS-65, and 12 AC-2 which forms 2 Combat Air Wings in the National Frisian Air Force but not only does the NFAF employ aircraft for combat missions there are also a variety of trainers and utility aircraft under the air force's arsenal these include; 50 TP-3E, 25 TJ-19E, 36 SB-3, 26 UH-2, and 12 TC-2. But the air force isn't only limited to manually operated aircraft, the National Frisian Air Force has invested heavily into new projects for remotely controlled air support or reconnaissance which so far has produced 60 RRC-1 with more variants being researched for combat purposes like the ARC-1 or the FYT-6 which is an evolution of the FYT-5.
The National Frisian Air Force's doctrine revolves around providing close air support to ground units which means that air superiority is crucial for the air force's doctrine causing the air force to focus its efforts on fighters and ground-attack aircraft.
