The Myanmar Air Force (Burmese: တပ်မတော် (လေ), ) is the aerial branch of Myanmar's armed forces, the Tatmadaw. It is mainly used in counter-insurgency campaigns, and, on a smaller, scale, in relief missions, especially after the deadly Cyclone Nargis of May 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or force:
“With your air indifferent and imperious
At a stroke our mad poetics to confute
AndAre we then so serious?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“... what is especially insufferable in a woman is a restless, bold, domineering manner, for this manner goes against nature.... [ellipsis in source] No matter what her worth, no matter that she never forgets that she could be a man by virtue of her superiority of mind and the force of her will, on the outside she must be a woman! She must present herself as that creature made to please, to love to seek support, that being who is inferior to man and who approaches the angels.”
—Elisabeth-Felicite Bayle-Mouillard (17961865)
