USMC Combat Aircrew Wings Key Ring — Earned in the Back of the Bird
Pilots get the glory. Aircrew gets the job done.
The USMC Combat Aircrew Wings are awarded to the Marine Corps enlisted aircrew members who fly combat missions as crew chiefs, aerial observers, loadmasters, gunners, and sensor operators in the back (or side) of every rotary-wing and tiltrotor aircraft in the fleet. These are the Marines who man the .50 cals on Hueys, work the hoist on CH-53s, and call out threats while the pilots fly. Earning Combat Aircrew Wings means you didn't just fly — you flew in combat, under fire, doing the job that keeps the aircraft and the mission alive. This key ring carries that distinction on a quality medallion, so every time you reach for your keys, you're reminded that you earned something most Marines never will.
Perfect For: USMC Combat Aircrew Wing recipients, Marine crew chiefs and aerial gunners, CH-53, UH-1, AH-1, and MV-22 aircrew, Marine aviation combat veterans, and anyone who earned their wings the hard way — in the fight.
USMC Combat Aircrew Wings — earned under fire, worn with pride.
