Aero Linx: The Society of United States Air Force Flight Surgeons (SoUSAFFS) SoUSAFFS was established in 1960 to more specifically support the USAF FS than AsMA at large could. Since then SoUSAFFS members have contributed in immeasurable ways to the advancement of the art and science of Aerospace Medicine and have shaped the Air Force Medical Service into the premier organization that it is. Many SoUSAFFS members are icons in aerospace medicine for this reason. AsMA is growing to encompass human performance and this is perfectly consonant with the AFMS’ vector. This is an exciting time to be an Air Force Flight Surgeon!
