Default Aviation Observer Wings Question - Do they still use them ?

From what I remember and what I can read they are no longer issued and the
NFO came out in 1968. Yet I see a website where someone claiming to be a
commander and being commissioned in 82 wearing A/O wings on his uniform. In
my limited 16 year career (med disch not retired) I never once seen them.

Plus a lot of his other pictures and stuff don't add up.

Like his pictures of VP31 A/C deployed overseas, Course I was in VP31 and
don't remember them deploying all over the world they seemed to train a
lot of people though .


Thanks in advanced for answering the query
