U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Alexander Ankney, 47th Student Squadron student pilot, shares his broken silver wings with a loved one during the graduation ceremony of Class 26-04 at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Jan. 8, 2026. The breaking of silver wings is a tradition dating back to the U.S. Army Air Corps where a pilot's first wings are not to be worn but broken and given to a loved one.
