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 devil’s head is the mascot of the Satan’s Angels due to their original flying call sign of “Hades” and represents the greatest adversary of humanity.  The halo hanging from his left horn symbolizes that Satan’s Angels are still honorable and fighting for a just cause.  The five stars represent the constellation of the Southern Cross, visible from the Australian states where the unit was first commissioned.
