Just something strange I stumbled across:

This is the official badge or patch of the CV-16 Liaoning ... but it looks like two F-16s ??? Or am I wrong?

Judging from the Wikimedia Commons upload history, I doubt that one is official in any capacity. The ribbon comes right out of PowerPoint clip art.

There is another version floating around.
