Being in the air force is the same as belonging to a large and special family. Those in this branch of the military are a part of something no one but their fellow air force brothers and sisters can fully understand. This is especially true for pilots. There's nothing quite like flying through the sky in a powerful jet that can break the speed of sound. But even those who aren't pilots will have unique experiences only people in the air force will have.
The Air force is actually the newest branch of the U.S. military. It was officially formed in 1947, but even though it's younger than the air forces of some other countries, it is currently the largest and one of the most advanced air forces in the world. The Air Force provides air support on military missions, defends the air space of the United States, and assists with troop recovery. As of 2012, the US Air Force had over 300,000 active military personnel and more than 5,000 aircraft in service.
A number of bikers are retired from or currently serve in the air force. In fact, they may be part of a motorcycle club of air force personnel and veterans. If you're in the air force and love to ride a motorcycle, you may want to get a patch or two that identifies you as a part of this branch of the military. One great option is the US Air Force Patch small arm rocker with flags. It's the perfect shape and size for the shoulder of your jacket or the front part of your vest.
