year 2002 I together with my team we have designed and produced this pach very pleased to see this here ...

Potential F-104 era, but require confirmation

It's the Elementary Military Flight Education on board of the Pilatus PC 7. It's the RNLAF 131 sqn. Each class designed his own patch.

The F-16 with backround the ancient Greek worrior's helmet and the sacred symbol of the Macedonian star that was found at the tomb of King Fillipos,the father of Alexander the Great.

The patch is a again a combination of the Greek flag,the Vergina (Macedonian) star a symbol found on the grave of King Fillipos the father of Alexander the Great and the White Tower which is a landmark of the city of Thessaloniki (the capital city of Macedonia).

This patch is F-5 version.

This is an early vesrion,it is made by Sportline.Highlander has made the later version,same design far better embroidery.

Actually this is one of the first versions of the Sqn patch.

Comments from patchman: Pilots who come from Thessaloniki the capital city of Macedonia in northern Greece wear this patch.The Vergina sun (a sympol found on the grave of King Fillipos the father of Alexander the Great) and the White Tower (a landmark of the city of Thesaloniki) are depicted on the patch.Actually pilots from other Hellenic Air Force's sqns are wearing this particular patch.

This patch came from 315 Squadron of the Royal Netherlands Air Force that flew with the F-16 Fighting Falcon from Twenthe Air Base the Netherlands until 2004 when this Squadron was deactivated. This Patch was of one of the sq Crewchief .

This patch for the RNLAF detachments to Hill AFB, Utah and Red Flag at Nellis , Nevada in September, October, November of 2007. All the personnel participating used it .

From Patchman: Another football related patch

Over the period 23 May to 16 June Exercise Joint Caribbean Lion 2006 (JCL 06) was conducted by the Netherlands. Six F-16 fighter planes were stationed at Curaao's Hato field. The purpose of the exercise was to assemble and mobilize an expeditionary military force which consists of all parts of the Dutch defense forces; the Royal Netherlands Navy, Air Force, Army and Military Police (Joint), and which is supplemented with international participants (Combined), in order to react to a crisis in an out of area environment.

This is a rare patch made in a limited run of 50 for 338 Sqn during Arctic Tiger.

Added for reference to the collectors due to the minor colour variation

The Egress Team patch, is used on bases where F-16?s of the BAF are based. (Kleine Brogel / Florennes) And is of the teams that are responsible for the maintenance of the rocket chair and the emergency equipment of all F-16?s.

Pilots are known to be football fans! Here is another example of a football related patch.This comes from 337 M of the Hellenic Air Force, equiped with F-16 Blk 52+ and based at Larisa. A limited edition patch ordered by the 337M pilots who are fans of the local football team Larisa.

This is a sqn pilots version only,produced only a few from Highlander,be aware of the cheap fake ones!

Extremely rare and very few patches produced. Excellent addition Patchman!

This patch was made by KENTORAMA (sole source of this patch).The very first of its kind.Other patches of similar design were ordered and made for other F-16 sqns technicians(many specialities).Sole manufacturer of these other patches (as shown in other sections) is SPORTLINE.

Be informed that this particular design was made by A.P.S. HIGHLANDER and KENTORAMA.If you find this patch made by other manufacturer,that is a repro(can be easily identified by its poor quality) as it is the case with several other patches(not only F-16 related)

Comments from patchman: Another football related patch,this time from Olympiakos football team fans. Ordered by F-16C Blk 52+ pilots assigned at 115 C.W.Keep in mind that it was manufactured only by Kentorama.

The very first version of this patch was made by A.P.S.,it has more stars in the sky.The second version ordered has less stars(as shown) and it was first ordered by A.P.S. and later by Highlander.Sportline never received any order,nevertheless they produced this patch (poor quality repro) in order to sell it to collectors,be carefull!!

This patch shown was not manufactured by Highlander(he has actually made a much better version of this patch).It's poor quality indicates that it was made by Sportline!

Comments from Paul DeOude:- What I read about 'Dianus' is that in the 50's the Weapon Instructors got together and made a QWI 'society'. Since most instructor were from 323 'Diana' Sqn, they called this society 'Dianus'. If anyone (especially from 323 Sqn) knows more, please add.
