Do they still award numbers when you wing? It was around 29000 when I winged in 08, curious what it’s up to now.
Good catch, I meant helo numbers, not overall NA number.Say what? I thought they quit doing that a long time ago. When we winged in 1988, we were not assigned a specific NA number…but we were assigned a specific helo NA number…

If they are unrestricted (helo) aviators, yes.Are USCG Aviators included in that count? I know there is a CG Aviator number and they are referred to as Coast Guard Aviators, but they do earn NA wings.
Yes we still do, and we’re over ~36,200 or so!
Edit: They’re called “R” numbers for those who don’t know.
I’ll say this… you’re a much better archivist than my own mother is with my school projects from 1976, which is saying a lot.Say what? I thought they quit doing that a long time ago. When we winged in 1988, we were not assigned a specific NA number…but we were assigned a specific helo NA number…
