This claim, even qualified as it is, is disingenuous. The Americans clearly have a claim by three years on any military organization using airplanes, even if part of the Army or Navy. The article acknowledges that the French Air Force as a separate service did not exist until the 30's, so if this is the criterion, then the RAF gets the nod, 1918 you know.--Buckboard 18:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

A question : looks to me the list of planes is wrong. The Rafale M are operated by the Navy (M stands for Marine). Don't ever tell a pilot or any other serviceman in the French Navy he belongs to the loosy Armée de l'Air...
Would appreciuate seeing photos of early french Aikr Force Aircraft(perhaps from 1909 ) By the way 109 and today marks the 100th anniversary of the Frebch Air Force!

Help. I'm new here and i can not edit the page. Can someone with an account edit the logo, as there is a new one since Februaary 2010 (which can be found here : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/4/4e/Logo_armee_de_l_air.jpg)? Thx in advance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.16.50.91 (talk) 14:26, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
France bought 176 Alpha Jets. Why does this article show them as operating 140, while the Alpha Jet entry has the French Air Force down as operating 99 of them?
Which is it?
Also, what happened to to the others? Can't imagine attrition being that high. Have they eliminated some airframes over the past 20 years due to the end of the Cold War and reduced training needs? Were they cannibalized and scrapped, mothballed in France, or sold to foreign air arms or civilians? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.242.2.150 (talk) 08:01, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
I was asked to look at the list of FAF aircraft by someone who wonders if it's accurate. I believe that it is, but as with most such entries on wikipedia, there's no indication when the list was compiled. Would it be possible to make that a standard procedure on wiki from now on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Btillman (talk • contribs) 14:45, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
I believe I compiled allot of the data for the FAF article. But that was now a year ago. However, it appears it has mostly remained unchanged save for a few updates. therefore the list is displaying early 2010 numbers with minor edits up to mid 2011. Recon.Army (talk) 18:41, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

In this article French Air Force is shorten by ALA. They are no proper acronyms in French for designating the Armée de l'aire. ALA sounds uncorrect I suppose the L stands for "L'aire" but in French when making acronyms we never or rarely include "l'". In "Armée de l'Aire" "de" is prior to "l'" ADA would be better than ALA however AA would be the best but it brings more confusion (I suppose AA sounds more like anti-air in english, moreover in an article about air forces). I think ALA should be erase, not that this point does really matter but as ALA doesn't exist in French FAF(French Air Force) wouldn't be more understandable? And in harmony with the English way of designating military forces (RAF, USAAF,...) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rippuku (talk • contribs) 21:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Before 2010, there were five organic (specialised) commands:
Why do some Air Force articles not have the aircraft listed by category in the infobox? It would be useful to add the aircraft in there. Sl3nderman3006 (talk) 11:40, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

The pioneer French aviators of the Service Aéronautique were the first to form fighter squadrons, the first to amass fighter wings, even a fighter division. None of this is in the present article. A half sentence mention in the lede (unmentioned in the body, incidentally), and that's it. You can't even link from Service Aéronautique in the lede to the article, because their is no Service Aéronautique article.
This is a shameful state of affairs, fellow Military History editors. Could some knowledgeable soul step up to the challenge?Georgejdorner (talk) 03:44, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
