Air Wing of Jamaica Defense Force was formed in 1963. The roundel is "classic" black yellow
green. Concering the fin flash I reported in
that the fin flash s black-yellow-green, while Željko reported
green-black-yellow (source: [cos98]).
Checking <www.jdfmil.org>
revealed the Željko (and [cos98])
is correct.

Jamaica doesn't have an "air force." It has an
"Air Wing" of the Defence Force (JDF), which is
considered a support arm.

Air Wing flag:
The ratio is approximated 2:3. It is a celestial blue flag with
the national flag in the canton and the badge of the armed forces
in the flyend. The badge shows the figures of the coat of arms
golden in a red disc. Upon the flag it is superimposing a white
8-point star. [ped79a] denotes
flag as "flyvevaabnets flag" (Air Force Flag). Basic
colour is doubtful (It might be then navy blue or dark blue as
well).
