SENIOR NAVIGATOR OR SENIOR AIRCRAFT OBSERVER The Navigator Badge is a military qualification badge of the United States Armed Forces which was first created during the Second World War. The current USAF badge is designated by Air Force Instructions as the Navigator/Observer Badge and is issued to rated officers in both rating categories.

The current Navigator/Observer Badge is issued in three degrees: Basic, Senior, and Master. The degree of the Navigator/Observer Badge is determined by years of flying service in the Air Force and by logged hours of flight time or flying duty assignment time. The degrees are annotated by a star (senior) and wreath (master) centered above the badge. There is also an astronaut version of the badge for those who have flown the NASA Space Shuttle and/or served on the International Space Station. Like its pilot astronaut counterpart, the Navigator/Observer Astronaut Badge is modified by the addition of the astronaut "shooting star" logo over the USAF shield on the wings.

This is a set of Senior Navigator wings. of metal construction with a bright silver finish. The design consists of a shield with protruding winfs. A star is set at the top of the shield. The wings are secured to the uniform via the use of clutch backs. The back has a contract code stamp. As used by the US Air Force.
