    Navy and Marine wings the same. I'm a second generation Naval Aviator. Those are my father's wings that he bought in the Philippines when he was a junior officer. WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War. I think they look great on the dock. I miss him everyday....

    Front Powered Bimini on 22RTFB
