Pinning the wings

When a new Air Force pilot receives the first set of wings, tradition calls for an important person in the pilot's life to pin the wings on their uniform. A member of Undergraduate Pilot Training Class 23-13 continues that tradition Aug. 4, at Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Sarah Smith)
