117th Air Refueling Squadron Decal - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the proud heritage and mission of the 117th Air Refueling Squadron. The artwork likely features key visual elements that instantly identify the squadron and its core purpose.

Key Design Elements and Symbolism

Expect to find a prominent depiction of a KC-135 Stratotanker, the aircraft synonymous with aerial refueling, its refueling boom extended, signifying the unit's primary function of extending the reach of other aircraft. The KC-135 could be in flight, possibly alongside silhouettes of other aircraft that the squadron refuels, emphasizing its support role in global operations.

The squadron's emblem or insignia is almost certainly incorporated. This could include a distinct emblem with colors, symbols, and text. These elements often include the unit's name, motto, and/or a symbol that reflects its history or mission. The chosen design will convey the unit’s identity and its commitment to excellence in the demanding field of air refueling. These details might reflect a proud heritage dating back to earlier periods.

The overall presentation of the design is probably bold and impactful, reflecting the critical, fast-paced nature of aerial refueling operations. The design will likely stand out, capturing the spirit of the U.S. Air Force and the vital contribution of the 117th Air Refueling Squadron.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
