Established in 1988, the Air Force Aerial Achievement Medal aims to recognize Air Force personnel who are not qualified for the Air Medal but have consistently demonstrated exceptional performance in aerial flight that goes beyond standard expectations. The award is also applicable to operators of unmanned aircraft. This medal can be awarded to serving and civilian personnel.
Design
The medal is a bronze circular shape, with an eagle with spread wings in the centre. Above the eagle is a string of stars, and three crossed lightning bolts beneath.
Ribbon
The accompanying silk ribbon has a light blue base and is framed on both sides by an inner stripe of golden yellow and an outer stripe of navy-blue.
