United States aircrew badges

The United States aircrew badges, commonly known as aircrew wings or simply as wings, are qualification badges that are awarded by five of the United States Armed Forces to personnel who serve as aircrew members onboard military aircraft. The United States Space Force is the only armed service which does not issue its own aircrew badges, though Space Force personnel are permitted to wear such badges when earned via another service. Neither of the non-armed services of the U.S. uniformed services (the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps) issue aircrew badges, though their personnel are generally permitted to wear such badges.

Aircrew badges are intended to recognize the training and qualifications required by aircrew of military aircraft. In order to qualify as an aircrew member and receive the appropriate aircrew badge, such personnel typically undergo advanced training in aircraft in-flight support roles. Pilots of the U.S. uniformed services are issued an appropriate aviator badge.
