NEON ABYSS
Air Force Medal
This item wants you off the floor. Grounded shooting does not get the published bonus.
I would jump before a burst if I were holding this. The table is explicit that the damage increase applies in the air.
Effect
Increase weapon damage while airborne. No jump-count or percent is attached to that line in version 1.4.6.

Historical Unlock and Movement Fit
The old Bar upgrade tree lists Air Force Medal as the bonus for the Silly Frog pack, costing five Faith Gems. That tree is marked outdated, so this is a historical unlock instruction. The individual item page includes both jumping and flight; flight is not required to activate the airborne bonus.
Related Mechanics and Evidence
The Medal includes both jumping and flying in its airborne condition. Demon Wings offers flight at a heart-container cost, but flight is not required to activate the Medal.
This comparison is an editorial interpretation of the cited mechanics, not an official combo test. Unknown numerical values and unlock tasks remain unknown.

Questions this page answers
What does Air Force Medal do?
Weapon damage increases while you are in the air.
Does it help melee?
The item table says weapon damage. It does not settle every weapon damage type; some first-game weapons deal melee damage, so no universal exclusion of melee is claimed.
