Kansas Wing

Heraldry & History

A border of Air Force yellow circumscribes the wing patch. This is symbolizes excellence. Excellence is a core value of both the Air Force and Civil Air Patrol.

Each wheat stalk has fourteen kernels. Kansas was the fourteenth wing established in the Civil Air Patrol.

There are three wheat stalks to represent the three Civil Air Patrol missions:
- Aerospace Education
- Cadet Programs
- Emergency Services

Wheat symbolizes both the agricultural base of the state and the importance of the wing’s ground-based operations.

The ultramarine blue field represents the blue of the Civil Air Patrol, beautiful Kansas sky and the importance of the Wing’s airborne operations.

The wing emblem was approved for use toward the end of March 2022 by:
- Colonel Roger Eaton, Kansas Wing Commander
- Colonel John R. O'Neill, North Central Region Commander
- Major General Edward D. Phelka, National Commander
