The Valkean Air Force (VAF; Valkean: Ilmavoimat) is the air and space force of the Valkean Armed Forces. It was founded in 1926, making it one of the oldest continuously operating air forces of its kind in Astyria, and has since then participated in various Astyrian conflicts. Its primary role is to protect Valkea's national airspace, provide support for ground forces, and conduct aerial and space operations.
