[b]Emblem Significance:[/b] Blue and yellow are the Air Force colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The firebird on the flight symbol represents the squadron personnel and their dedication to guarding, guiding, and maintaining the Wing's aircraft and mission. The swirling contrail reflects the turbulence in the world and serves to remind the unit personnel of the sacrifices that were necessary in the past to sustain future peace.
