ARLINGTON, Va., April 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Air Force Association is launching its members-only area for specific content of Air Force Magazine May 1, 2014.

Over the past few months, AFA had announced several new changes in the realm of digital communications. In February, AFA launched its new membership option – the eMember – and earlier this month it introduced the high-definition, digital edition of Air Force Magazine.

These changes were leading toward the implementation of a members-only area for access to Air Force Magazine – a system that will prevent internet users from accessing certain online content without a paid membership. The members-only area will go into effect May 1.

After May 1, an AFA membership is required to have full access to all Air Force Magazine content and specific login information will need to be established. For AFA members who have established a login for www.afa.org, the same login will give access to the digital edition of Air Force Magazine.

AFA eMembers are automatically subscribed to this new digital version of Air Force Magazine. AFA members who receive the print version of the magazine will also be given the option to receive digital Air Force Magazine at no additional cost.

Members who still need to establish a login, go to www.afa.org and select "Login" at the top of the page, and follow the instructions. To become a member now, go to http://www.afa.org/AFA/Join. One-year memberships are available for $45. Full-time students, cadets, and junior enlisted memberships are available for $22.50. One-year eMemberships are available for $30.
