Insignia of the 9th
Pre 25 June 1966, the 9th was a Bomb Wing out of Mountain Home
AFB, ID, it became the 9 Strategic Reconnassaince Wing(SRW) from 25 June 1966
till 1992. The 9th has had two names since then, the 9 Wing(W), then the 9 Reconnassiance
Wing(RW), which it still is! The insignia for the has gone through two versions;
the usual shield with 9 Wing on the scroll below, but that has been switched
to it's older and more historic "Semper Paratus" on the scroll.

With the demise of SAC on June 1, 1992, the 9 SRW became the 9W, but then.... | |
It became the 9 Reconnaissance Wing(RW), and got it's original motto back.... | |
