Hello everyone,

out of curiosity: Which military freefall badges do you know?

Besides the most well-known American wings I know that some Asian countries (Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia?) have military freefall wings. Any more?

Thanks and Blue skies!

Okay, after a little bit of research I also found the Israeli freefall parachute badge. Anymore you know of?

There was a website that had many different static and freefall badges displayed. If I can find it I'll post it.

@LRS Guy, thanks, that would be great.

@L3: I think, the chuteur opérationnel is more than an ordinary freefall badge but rather a badge that is worn by operators with certain abilities.

I found another one: The Austrian Freefall Wings (Picture by the Austrian Armed Forces Photograph)

Let's see if anyone still reads this thread:

Danish Free-fall badge, only issued to SF.
Ordinary jump-school badge has blue enamel.
