===Kenya Air Force=== [[File:Soldiers shaking hands near Harbin Y-12 turboprop utility aircraft of Kenya Air Force.jpg|thumb|Soldiers near a turboprop utility aircraft of Kenya Air Force]] The [[Kenya Air Force]] was formed on 1 June 1964, soon after independence, with the assistance of the United Kingdom. After a failed coup by a group of Air Force officers on 1 August 1982, the Air Force was disbanded. Air Force activity was reconstituted and placed under tighter army control as the 82 Air Force. The Air Force regained its independent status in 1994. The main airbase operating fighters is [[Laikipia Air Base]] in [[Nanyuki]], while [[Moi Air Base]] in [[Eastleigh, Nairobi]] is the headquarters. Other bases include Wajir Air Base, Forward Operating Base (FOB) Mombasa ([[Moi International Airport]]), FOB Mandera, & FOB Nyeri (mainly helicopters/small planes).
