This identity design was created in adobe illustrator to represent the official unit insignia for 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, Feb. 12, 2025. The flying diamond insignia was first recognized during World War II as a shoulder patch. The patch was later mandated by the Commandant of the Marine Corps to represent all Marine Aircraft Wings.

A spouse of a Marine with Marine Aircraft Group 29 sprays a fire hose from an aircraft rescue and firefighting truck during “Marine for a Day,” an event hosted at Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., Sept. 23, 2016. The purpose of the event was to give spouses a better perspective of the mental and physical demands their Marines go through on a day-to-day basis in order to maintain their personal readiness. The event included hands-on practice at the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer, a tour of the various aircraft aboard the air station, Marine Corps Martial Arts Program familiarization, a combat fitness test and more.
