 ===Origin/meaning===
+Ultramarine blue and golden orange are the colors associated with Aviation. The quartering of the shield is an allusion to the Crossland Arms traditionally used by Maryland. The winged horse symbolizes flight, freedom and high ideals. The motto is adapted from the nicknames of Maryland, "The Free State," and Virginia, "The Old Dominion," and refers to the units located in those states.
 The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insginia was approved effective 1 October 1987.
