[edit] Significance

The shield is in the colors of the Air Force, and is divided by a nebuly partition line, representing clouds. Pegasus, the winged horse of mythology, is shown in an attitude of flight, rising to the sky, deftly and swiftly with a flaming machine gun in each wing, to accomplish the mission assigned successfully.
