May we use NAF to pay the expenses (such as hotel rooms and rental cars) for the “Blue Angels” to come to our bases annual air show?
No. An air show as defined by the Public Affairs Manual is a public affairs event. It includes displays of military equipment and performances by military flight demonstration teams. These displays are official functions and must be paid for using appropriated funds (APF). NAF may only be used to support MCCS MWR events held in conjunction with air shows such as food and beverage or souvenir concessions as well as additional entertainment/events such as a concert or a 10K run.
