General de flotilă aeriană

The term "flotilă aeriană" (air flotilla) was introduced in 1929.^[2] Equivalent to an air wing and usually consisting of three air groups,^[3] the unit existed until 1949 when the flotillas were converted to aviation regiments.^[4] The present-day Air Bases of the Romanian Air Force were also briefly renamed to flotillas between 2010 and 2013.^[5]

The insignia worn on the sleeves has a 35 mm wide braid (called galon or tresă), a 25 mm wide braid and a 12 mm wide braid. Like all air force rank insignia, the topmost braid is folded in the shape of a rhombus. The shoulder insignia consists of a 45 mm wide braid made from yellow silk thread and gold metallic thread with a single metallic thread star embroidered on top and a 1 mm blue textile border.^[6]
