U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Scott Rockett, 47th Student Squadron student pilot, gives his loved one half of his broken silver wings from his guest during the graduation ceremony of Class 26-16 at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 27, 2026. Once pilots break their first pair of silver wings, one half is kept by the pilot, and the other is given to someone of significance in their lives. To preserve the good luck, the two halves should only be brought together again in the next life. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Jarrett Smith)
