Significance

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 lions, signifying honor and majesty, hold a lightning flash and a palm branch representing the organization's courage and adaptability in performing its mission through war and peace. The blocks represent the determination of subordinate units that assist in mission accomplishment and the stars represent the wisdom the organization acquired in combat. The stylized clouds are a tribute to those who have served, signifying the retrospection with which the organization honors its rich heritage.[4] copie d'archive sur Wayback Machine
