U.S. Air Force student pilots from the 47th Student Squadron hold up their broken silver wings during the graduation ceremony of Class 26-16 at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 27, 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.
