I first had the idea for this swirl patch way back in 2005 while we were deployed. One of our more artistic types was supposed to help actualize it, but it never came about. Using my amateurish hack skills with Graphic Converter and Photoshop Elements I was able to produce this, using the old 421 tail-flash (pre super squadron scheme) for the swirl. As you can see I lack the ability to get the flash to fill in the whole swirl, but it at least gives an idea of what it should look like. If anybody out there can help out it'd be appreciated.

I like the second one. Can you make it so that the contact points on the hourglass are merged to make one shape rather than two triangles? The shape would be the same as the outline of the hourglass in the original design. Awesome work man.

Drop us an example or to as well when there ready. We can scan and add to the gallery.

Talk to 'ensnacko' or 'aeroemblem' about getting them made. Tell them we referred you.

I'm going to check around and see what's out there, but this was a personal project and I'm no longer assigned to the 421. So I won't be able to order a large run because I'd be financing it myself.
