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.

Marines prepare for the stinger missile race during a combine hosted by Marine Air Control Group 28 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., June 2, 2017. During the race, two people from each team ran with a stinger missile for one mile. While running, the Marines were able to pass the missile back and forth to their partner. Each squadron within MACG-28 had teams of 20 Marines competing in multiple events including a relay race, javelin throw, and Humvee push. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Cody Lemons/Released)
