If anyone knows what the proper English translation of what the Swiss Air Force calls itself, comment and tell me, and be sure to include reference links that work!

I did a cursory look for the name, and the answer is somewhat elaborate.  Since the Swiss are multilingual, the air force's official name changes based on the language being used:

On the official site, the title changes between (depending on language selected):
English - Swiss Air Force
French - 
Forces aériennes suisses
German - Schweizer Luftwaffe
Italian - 
Forze aeree svizzere

I couldn't find the Romansh translation on the official page (which seems strange, but whatever), but it Wikipedia's Romansh translation calls it:
Aviatica militara svizra

rm.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviatica…

I don't consider Wikipedia a good source for much of anything, but "meh".
