American Airlines Junior Flight Crew Plastic Wings Badge Pin In Great Condition.
This pin measures approximately 2 1/2" long.
This pin is a commemorative souvenir traditionally given to children during flights. While it mimics the design of professional crew wings, it is made of durable plastic with a silver-tone finish and bears the iconic American Airlines logo and the "Flight Crew" title.
American Airlines has issued nearly two dozen different versions of junior wings over the past 80 years.
After a decade-long absence starting in the early 2000s, these plastic pins were brought back by popular demand in 2016 to help create memorable flight experiences for young passengers.
On board, they are typically handed out by pilots or flight attendants as a token of the airline's heritage and to inspire a love for aviation.
These badges are popular with aviation memorabilia collectors.
