Nope, badges come in two sizes. One for the ClassA blouse (large)
and one for the blue shirt (small). My Navigator wings are just the
same size as a pilots wings.

Doesn't really matter. They all wear Aviation Badges anyway. Look

USAF Command Pilot wings are much larger in size (rightfully so!)
than other aviation badges. I don't think it's no accident that I
haven't lost Dad's Command Pilot wings but I did (regrettably)
somehow manage to lose his medals back when I was a young
kid. The silver wings have tarnished a bit over the years but that's
OK since you can clearly see the imprint where he used his thumb
to pin the wings onto his dress blues.

I just got an email from a friend who just made LtCol. I remarked that now
he could wear the wheel hat with the "farts & darts" (clouds with lightning
bolts) on the visor. He replied that the Air Force no longer uses the wheel
hat. When did that start?
