Cadet Squadron 30
[edit] Patch Heraldry
(Taken from www.usafa.af.mil, which in turn was compiled from P. Michael Sheridan, Squadron Insignia of the United States Air Force Academy)
The patch is a circle with a knight's helmet, topped with a four-color plume, in the center. A stylized black and white aircraft leaves a contrail on a blue field to the helmet's left. To its right, the red numeral "30" sits amid red-highlighted yellow flames on a black field. The knight's helmet represents the military profession--cadet's heritage. The four-colored plume symbolizes the four classes. The flames stand for war, to which the helmet is impervious. The ascending aircraft on the left suggests freedom of the skies and a peaceful contrast to the flames of war.
