Which description best fits the AFA?

• A. A national, independent, non-profit, air power advocacy organization
• B. A for-profit corporation
• C. A local club
• D. A government agency

Answer: (A)

Think of the Air Force Association as a nationwide, independent, non-profit group whose purpose is to advocate for air power and support the Air Force and aerospace community. This description fits best because it covers the scope (national in reach), the governance (independent and not government-controlled), and the nonprofit nature (not a for-profit entity) while emphasizing its role in promoting air power. The other descriptions don’t fit: a for-profit corporation would distribute profits to owners, a local club would be limited in scope to a specific locality, and a government agency is part of the government itself.
