2 Letter From The Leadership

Dear Friends and Supporters of the Air Force Association,

We are pleased to present to you the Air Force Association’s Annual Report for 2010. In the following pages, we share an in-depth analysis of the past year. You might notice that a key to our success in 2010 came from strengthening our current programs and expanding their reach. We cannot overstress the importance of your role in our continued effectiveness. Our mission is achieved through a myriad of initiatives. Your contributions enable AFA to educate the public about the pivotal role aerospace power plays in the defense of our nation; advocate aerospace power and a strong national defense; and support the , the Air Force family, and aerospace education. We appreciate the exceptional support we receive from our members, industry and corporate partners, and our chapters, states, the entire Air Force family, educators, congressional staffs, and volunteers. S. Sanford Schlitt Chairman of the Board Throughout 2010, AFA actively engaged in reaching out to the public, and our outreach and education efforts continued to positively impact many. We continued to educate the public about aerospace and airpower issues with several outreach efforts, including Air Force Magazine and the online Daily Report, the Notes from the President, and transcripts from exceptional speakers at our own conferences, symposia, and programs. CyberPatriot has grown exponentially! CyberPatriot is a high school cyber defense competition that excites, educates, and motivates students to pursue further education in cyber security and other STEM disciplines. Forty-eight states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and US Department of Defense dependent schools in , Korea, and Guam were represented this year in CyberPatriot III. Our efforts to advocate have been supported by discussions on Capitol Hill, Air Power Advocates groups, media outreach, and fast-growing social media activity. We have Mike Dunn aggressively and successfully incorporated social media (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, AFA Blog) President/CEO into our regular outreach efforts, allowing us to reach more people more frequently than ever. They have served as invaluable tools for enabling dialogue between members, supporters, and fans on a range of topics. As the premier research arm of AFA, the Mitchell Institute for Airpower Studies continues to sponsor important research, publish several papers then discussed in the widely attended Mitchell Hours. The Air Force Breakfast Series allows Air Force leadership to interact with industry leaders, the media, and the public, promoting greater understanding on the critical role of Air Force airpower in the security of our nation. We continue to provide oversight and management of the Air Force Memorial. This past year, it has been the setting for countless special activities, including holiday ceremonies, wreath- layings, and even a Hollywood film production. AFA is incredibly proud of the statement this remarkable memorial continues to make while being a constant reminder of our great heritage. The Association is a 501(c)(3) charitable educational organization, and donations to AFA are tax deductible. We deeply appreciate the special gifts from members and industry partners that create numerous scholarships, educational grants, fellowships and other educational efforts. As we move into 2011, we look forward to working with our members, supporters and friends to address the challenges of the future. It is with your support that AFA remains THE FORCE BEHIND THE FORCE. Sincerely,

S. Sanford Schlitt Michael M. Dunn Chairman of the Board President/CEO

9 Accomplishments ADVOCATE Top Issues for 2011

AFA’s Top Issues for 2011, which were approved by the Board of Directors and national delegates at the national convention in September 2010, represent AFA’s positions on the current and ongoing issues facing the Air Force today.

Supporting Our Airmen << The strength of the Air Force is found in the men and women who serve. The Air Force Association supports them and honors their service. << AFA is especially proud of Air Force men and women—active, Guard, Reserve, and civilian—for their sacrifices on behalf of our nation.

CARING FOR VETERANS & RETIREES << TRICARE is an earned benefit that meets the unique demands of military service. As a nation, we must always maintain our promise to care for those who served.

RECAPITALIZING THE AGING FLEET << Make a swift and binding decision to allow rapid production of new tankers. << Continue modification of the C-5B/Cs; gain the flexibility to retire the older C-5As; keep the C-17 production line open. << Make a full commitment to the F-35 program, ensuring a rapid production rate. << Develop procedures for Remotely Piloted Aircraft on their eventual beddown and operations within the US. << Develop and acquire new long-range strike assets by 2020. << Retain CSAR as a core Air Force mission and field a replacement CSAR helicopter.

Securing Space and Cyberspace << Fully fund and support space situational awareness, space protection programs, and assured access to space. << Invest steadily and strategically on space capabilities and recognize the US must retain clear superiority in this critical mission area. << Focus on developing the next generation of cyber security experts and capabilities and be able to quickly inject new technologies into key enclaves to secure the network and support the mission.

STRENGTHENING THE NUCLEAR MISSION << Provide life extension programs that ensure safe, reliable, and secure nuclear weapons and maintain the responsive production infrastructure to deter, assure, and provide stability. << Sustain delivery systems and warheads for the foreseeable future, but just as importantly, nuclear support equipment and infrastructure.

Investing in Airpower << Develop a national industrial policy to attract and maintain an experienced workforce. << Promote early learning in foundational studies, including science and math, to stimulate development of the next generation of engineers, scientists, and technicians.

This program concept is intended to gather and preserve the organizational, program, and personal professional history of our Air Force, AF heritage organizations, and AF people. The goal of the Archives is to provide a readily acces- sible central database that can be used as a resource for current and future generations of visitors and families to study and to more fully understand and appreciate the contributions and sacrifices of our country’s Airmen. We will continue to update and upgrade the quality and quantity of information to “Make Your Story Our History” through the use of direct mail and directed phone calls.

The Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force and the major command-level command chief master sergeants select the career field—historically an enlisted field—and identify individual members who clearly display supe- rior technical expertise, attract the praise of their superiors, and provide leadership and inspiration to others.

For 2010, the Air Force chose Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) sensor operators as the Team of the Year, selecting five airmen to represent the field’s more than 500 sensor operators. AFA hon- ored those five during a reception and a ceremony in the Wash- ington, D.C. area as part of a four-day program that included visits with Air Force leaders at the Pentagon and a visit with each team member’s Congressman on Capitol Hill.

The association began the Teacher of the Year award program 25 years ago.

In 2010, AFA selected Allen Robnett of Gallatin High School in Gallatin, Tenn., as its National Aerospace Teacher of the Year.

Robnett teaches aviation, astronomy, physics, and college-level algebra. His efforts to promote STEM courses has included building a small observatory on the school’s rooftop and outfit- ting the nine-foot-diameter structure with a rotating dome and a one-foot diameter telescope. He also painted two classroom walls with black paint and glow-in-the-dark spots to create a miniature planetarium. And, he rounded up 12 flight simulator stations to help teach aviation theory.

In an innovative approach to “sell” science and technology to students, Robnett offers rides around the school cafeteria in a hovercraft driven by a leaf-blower. He also helped obtain ap- proval from the Tennessee Department of Education to create two new programs at Gallatin—“Aviation Theory and Practice” and “Astronomy and Space Exploration.”
