Qualified parachutists wear the parachute badge with the red maple leaf.
1968 the current wings were introduced.
There are two classes of Canadian Jump Wings, red maple leaf for completion of the Basic Parachutist's Course, and white maple leaf for completing the basic course, and sufficient months of service in a designated parachutist's position.
The Canadian Airborne Regiment (April 1968 to March 1995) were the most well-known wearers of the Canadian Jump Wings.
After its disbandment in 1995, the Canadian army's parachute traditions reverted to the pre-1968 practice of maintaining a parachute company within one of the battalions of each of the regular infantry regiments.
The Canadian Forces parachutist qualification badge with RED leaf denotes graduating the basic para course.
Metal CF wings from 1975 with white or red Leaf have 3 pins on the back.
