Emblem Significance: Blue
and yellow are the Air Force colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary
theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence
required of Air Force personnel. The winged star-in-circle is adapted from
the Air Force logo and is a stylized representation of the North Star,
which suggests the 11th Air Force’s home base in Alaska and the scope of
the organization’s defense mission. The "11" refers to the numerical designation
of the unit.
