That's what I thought as well. Waffen SS. Not really even very close.

Waffen SS uniform. The collar is completely different, as is the color. (This is a Hollywood reproduction though, from a site that sells props and wardrobe.

The current AF uniforms, and the ones preceding them look more like WW-II Luftwaffe than these new ones, especially the high collar "Mitchell" version. The WW-II German uniforms had large squarish collar tabs. The belts did not match the fabric of the uniform either. They used shoulder boards, not epaulets.
