337M 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.

patchman comments

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.

343 M crewchief inspector

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.

F-16 STAR

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.

genuine versions

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!!

341M patch

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!

343 M (2)

343 M patch

Very few examples of his patch were made for the sqn,it was rejected as official type patch for 343M F-16C Blk 52+.Ordered and made by A.P.S. is now a very hard to get patch.

340 M patch

Be advised that the only sourses of this patch are A.P.S. ,Highlander and Kentorama.I have recently seen one made by another manufacturer,that one is fake,don't buy or trade!

343 M patch

To my knowledge,this particular patch was designed by a sqn technician and manufactured localy(Chania).It was never ordered from Highlander.The quality though is better than the original patch.

This patch was shortlived.It was used for some time by flight and ground crews until H.A.F. rejected it.The new and final design approved is quite similar to the original 343 M.A.H. of the F-5 era.

The upper part reads:The Aces(Which is the sqns emblem).The lower part is ancient Greek and it means:Purification is coming!

Added because it's a slight variation. Patch text darker Blue in colouring. No White stitching around the words 'F-16' and less stars.
