Agreed ...... I took the design of my dad's USN wings for my contribution to
the cause.
The upswept bird wings are just a bit too much like the Harley Davidson
wings. 
The Navy style are synonymous with aviation and the association is well
established.
The rotor takes the place of the shield nicely as well.

...... but what I really like is the way the stars in the shoulder area of
the wings combine with the feathers to form a subtle flag appearance.

Actually guys, I think the wings we add to the rotor should be more like 
the "bird" wings like we see added to logo and pilot/aviator wings lapel 
and uniform brass.  It is more generic as to all sorts of flying and 
very recognizable to aviation types.  The Rotary rotor seems to be the 
perfect center mark for this type of wing.  It is also pretty dignified, 
recognizable with maybe a "Fly  Rotary"  printed underneath.

Also, easily transferred to various media, such as caps, patches, 
stickers etc.

Check out the general idea here. Easily modified for our use.

FWIW
