[edit] Significance

The colors of the shield, Ultramarine Blue and Air Force Yellow, are the official colors of the United States Air Force. The blue represents the sky and space we dominate, and the yellow represents molten gold signifying the quality of Airmen assigned to the Wing. The clenched fist indicates strength. The magnolia is the state flower of Louisiana, where the 27th Bombardment Group (Light) was first organized. Approved for 27th Group on 12 Sep 1940; and for 27th Wing on 11 Jul 1952.
