Symbolism
Ultramarine blue and golden orange are colors traditionally associated with U.S. Army aviation. Blue is symbolic of the sky, the unit’s theater of operations and reflects perseverance, devotion and loyalty. The division between the blue and orange suggested flames implying firepower; the pheons represent attack capabilities, swiftness and sureness in flight of aircraft.
