About the Coat of Arms of the Venezuelan
Air Force, it has a German shape derivates from the Military
Aviation School of Venezuela Shield and presents a simple field
in Azure (dark blue) gold embroidered, where appears the
"Winged Crown of the Venezuelan Military Aviation"
conformed by the field of the National Coat of Arms of Venezuela
with wings rounding an unfastening its flanques, with the
Venezuelan roundel above. Over this crown appear seven silvered
stars disposed in arch. The cimier it's a Sky-blue and Or
(yellow) pennant charging the "war voice" "FUERZA
AEREA VENEZOLANA" (Venezuelan Air Force), name of the
organization and its motto wrote in Latin "SPATIUM SUPERANUS
PALATINUS" (Paladin of the Sovereign Space) appears in
another pennant with the same colors under the shield. In
heraldically terms, this Coat of Arms are qualified how
"Canting Arms" because itself represents directly the
Venezuelan Air Force by means of the Winged Crown of Venezuelan
Military Aviation. The stars reminds those of the Venezuelan flag
and also represents the seven highest entities of command an
direction in the organization: The General Command, the General
Inspector Command, the General Staff, The Personnel Command, the
Air Operations Command, the Logistics Command and the Aerial
Defense Command. The azure field represents the dominion of this
force: the sky and space of Venezuela. The pennants are the
reaffirmation of the identity and ideals, which found the
Venezuelan Air Force. So, this Coat of Arms and the emblematic
colors Sky-blue and Or (yellow) was appointed for the VAF by the
Superior Council of the Venezuelan Armed Force in September 7th,
1995
Raul Jesus Orta Pardo, Chief of Department of Heraldry,
Venezuelan Air Force, 19 July 2000
1. Since Dec10, 1995, the Venezuelan Air Force adopted its
current Coat of Arms.
2. May be opportune to mention, in addition, that since its
adoption began a process of heraldic standardization and
symbological regularization without precedents not only in the
Institution but in all the Venezuelan Armed Force. One of its
fundamental guidelines is the resetting and adaptation of the
Coat of Arms of the FAV's Units to the contour of which it
identifies it to confer order and uniformity to the set.
3. The Venezuelan Air Force has a so called "Greater
Standard" that consists of a Sky-Blue field blue cloth with
a gilded fringe in whose center appears the Coat of Arms of the
Institution and its denomination in golden embroidered capital
roman letters describing an arc of circumference with the
convexity upwards. Taking like model this generic design, the
VAF's Units which has been authorized use an own Standard; this
is, a celestial blue field with the corresponding CoA or Emblem
of the Unit along with its denomination in analogous way to which
appears on "Greater Standard"
4. Since World War II, almost all the nations that had Military
Aviations adopted thus called "roundels" in order
to identify its flying inventories adapting mainly its national
symbols on a circular configuration. In the case of
Venezuela, the roundel derives from the national cockade
and consists in three concentric circles: yellow (outside), blue
(center) and red (inside) with two horizontal extensions that
reproduce the same colors in equal stripes upwards to downwards.
5. The Combat Air Group N° 16 is the "nest" of the
Fighting Falcons F-16: the in good condition more modern military
aircraft in service on Latin America and prop of the Venezuelan
national defense. This elite Unit of our Air Force has an emblem
consisting of a heraldic English shape divided per fess in two
quarters: the superior one or chief in Azure (Blue) loads a
flaming and smoky dragoon armed with a sword whereas the inferior
quarter or of the base is a chessboard on Silver (White) and
Sable (Black). The Dragoon symbolizes what it 's shaped in the
motto of the Unit: "TUTOR ET ULTOR" ("Protectors
and Avengers") whereas the chessboard remembers strategy and
Military Art.
