Hello Parkeran, Welcome to F-16.Net,

Reference patch collecting. A lot of what you see has been collected over many a number of years by a lot of collectors like myself. If you want to join in then here are some suggestions. Other can chip in with tips to. Very Happy

1. Go to patch manufacturer who sell on-line such as AeroEmblem. A good link for suppliers can be found on USAFPatches.com (http://www.usafpatches.com/sources.shtml)

2. Ebay. Be prepared to pay over the odds for some of the exotic patches. Also many on-line sellers offer better discounts on multiple buys here as well as they wish to shift the extras. The downside here is that there are some unscrupulous types who generate fakes and try to sell them as originals. Its often worth taking advice from seasoned collectors if your not sure.

3. Email/write direct to the squadrons. Often a good way to get current issued patches and at cost price.

Thanks for the information you gave me regarding where to get the patches. I will keep this information in mind as I have a birthday comming up and I will probably ask for some. Thanks again!!

Cheers

Another possibility is, go to an airshow and see what the squadrons and vendors have for sale. Sometimes you can even find some good bargains.

Go for www.sticker-shop.de! In the Section "Aufnäher" you will find your Italian Viper Patch!
Best Regards
