Symbolism

Ultramarine blue and Air Force 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 planes, shown throughout the shield, represent the Wing’s rich heritage of projecting aerospace power in the support of national objectives.  The land masses depict the Northeast United States from where the Wing will perform its primary missions.  From the earliest days of providing observation missions, to the recent past of providing air defense and counter air missions, the unit has consistently excelled.  The Wing is now an integral part of the joint team that helps dominate the air, space and cyberspace mediums, while providing vigilant global presence.
