Implementation notes
By default, this template shows the standard national flag for the selected country, following by a wikilink to "Country Air Force". Both of these items can be changed by adding specific parameters to the appropriate {{country data}} template (complete set found in Category:Country data templates).
To use a different flag, such as the air force ensign for the nation, use:
|flag alias-air force=image name of air force ensign
To use a different name for the wikilinked air force article, use:
|link alias-air force=article name
