Naval aviator (United States)

United States Naval Aviator Insignia; the insignia is worn as a breast badge by qualified crewed aircraft pilots of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard

A naval aviator is a commissioned officer or warrant officer qualified as a crewed aircraft pilot in the United States Navy or United States Marine Corps. United States Coast Guard crewed aircraft pilots are officially designated as "Coast Guard aviators", although they complete the same undergraduate flight training as Navy and Marine Corps crewed aircraft pilots, and are awarded the same aviation breast insignia.
