Description:
HERALDRY: The design of the falcon is a replica of the maintenance falcon located in the National Cathedral at Washington DC.
The falcon symbolizes the airborne strength possessed by the Air Force and made possible by the maintenance of aircraft & munitions. In its talons, the falcon is holding a bomb and a generic 21st century aircraft. They are crossed to show the interrelationship of the career fields.
THE AIRCRAFT: The aircraft, streamlined to depict a 21st century aircraft, is symbolic of all aircraft maintained by the personnel who will wear the badge into the 21st century.
THE AIRCRAFT LEADING EDGES: The aircraft has three leading edges, which represent the three enlisted maintenance specialties: aircraft, munitions, and communications-electronics. The personnel, like the leading edges of the aircraft, work together to support the flying mission.
THE BOMB: The bomb, streamlined to depict a modern munition, symbolizes the primary mission of the Air Force maintainer to make sure they put the bombs on target.
THE FIELD: The field is without obstruction and depicts a free sky.
THE OLIVE WREATH: The olive wreath, surrounding the badge, symbolizes the peace which we defend through professional maintenance.
