Proudly pinning on the new wings

Traditionally a new aviator's first wings are pinned on by someone very important in their life. The Vance flightline witnessed many of these special moments following the Undergraduate Pilot Training Class 23-15 graduation held Oct. 6 at Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma.
