Canadian Forces Metal Pilots Wing Full Size

The Canadian Forces Metal Pilots Wing Full Size is an official insignia awarded to qualified pilots serving in the Canadian military. This badge is crafted from metal and is designed in full size to be worn on the service dress uniform. The insignia features a central maple leaf, emblematic of Canada, flanked by outstretched wings representing flight and aviation proficiency. Established following the unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, this design replaced earlier Royal Canadian Air Force patterns. The Pilots Wing is presented upon successful completion of pilot training and signifies authorized status as a military aviator within the Canadian Armed Forces. The full-size version is typically attached above the left breast pocket of the uniform, secured by pin fasteners or clutch backings. This insignia remains a standard component of Canadian military regalia and is a recognizable marker of training, achievement, and professional role in the field of military aviation.
