U.S. AIR FORCE Pilot Training 90-13 Looks That Kill Patch by COMMANDO
The COMMANDO U.S. AIR FORCE Pilot Training 90-13 Looks That Kill Patch commemorates the 1990-13 pilot-training class at Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB), Mississippi. The inscription “CAFB 14th STUS” identifies the 14th Student Squadron, the unit responsible for supporting student pilots during their training at the base. “Looks That Kill” is the class motto, giving this patch its distinctive identity as a piece of U.S. Air Force aviation training memorabilia.
The 14th Student Squadron has an important role within the 14th Operations Group. Its responsibilities include the administration and day-to-day support of student pilots, maintaining student training records, and delivering much of the academic and simulator instruction required during pilot training. The squadron supports the demanding process of preparing military aviators, helping students progress through the various stages of their training.
The history of pilot training at Columbus AFB dates back to the Second World War. The base was selected for military flying training in 1941, and returned to its pilot-training mission in 1969. The 14th Flying Training Wing was activated in 1972, continuing Columbus's role as a major U.S. Air Force training establishment. The 14th Student Squadron was reactivated on 2 December 2011, and assigned to the 14th Operations Group. The 1990-13 class patch therefore represents an earlier period in the base's student-pilot training history.
