Gold Wing was the call sign of a member of Gold Squadron, a Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron, during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY. Gold Wing was one of many pilots who followed Gold Leader Lando Calrissian, flying the light freighter Millennium Falcon, into the superstructure of the incomplete second Death Star near the climax of the battle. The pilot remained with Calrissian and Red Leader Wedge Antilles as they approached the battle station's reactor core, but Gold Wing was shot down by an Imperial TIE fighter before they could reach their target.
