The Ops Officer (me) was also an ASU grad...

Shredder Mosley had this made for the 13FS Panthers (part of the 35FW) in 2005. We took it to Cope North and Cope India in 2006.

Designed to celebrate the VT ANG 60th anniversary in August 2006.

ADMIN NOTES: I don't believe this patch is from the 35th FW. Can anyone confirm the origins of this patch.

ADMIN NOTES:- Based out of Eglin AFB, Florida and performs operational testing of F-15 and F-16 radars/firing control systems. This squadron does not own any aircraft.

ADMIN NOTEs:- USAF Air-to-Ground Weapon System Evaluation Program also known as Combat Hammer. This squadron does not own any aircraft.

ADMI NOTES:- re-established March 11, 2004 at Edwards AFB, CA the 445th FTS does all the test support for air refueling, chase aircraft, target support aircraft and minor testing that doesn't fall under any Combined Task Force.

Older version, pre F-16 days. see notes at: http://www.usafpatches.com/forum/index.php?topic=4474.0

ADMIN NOTES: Note the F-16 nose is within the patch edge

ADMIN NOTES:- Patch issued & supplied by General Dynamics. Note in center of patch, a single F-16, rather than later examples which contain 4 F-16's in the Diamond formation.

Luke AFB F-16 patch.(1986) My return assignment from RAF Alconbury's F4Cs. Glad to be back on the mini jets!

MacDill AFB F-16 patch. After the 13th was deactivated we got this patch upon arrival of the F-16s. "Don't F&^% with the Parakeet" Was the motto.

You are correct. MacDill was my first duty assignment and I was in the 13th Panther Pack crewing F-14s. Awesome unit to work in.

112th FS is also "Stinger' and I checked with a 112th FS pilot and he thought it was theres. I'm open if I'm wrong :-)

ADMIN NOTES:- Original sample prototype from archives of old time Emblem Companies

I was in the 527th from 1980-1983 flying F-5E's. Supposedly this patch was never officially approved - and supposedly there was a diplomatic complaint by the Russkies about it. The red ring shows a radar lock on at 500 ft in guns mode (but the original design had it at 800 feet).

I was in the 69th flying Phantoms. The very original patch had gray highlights in the dragon. The black made it much improved.

Produced by Progressive Specialties. We did this patch on a whim. The squadron never bought it (from us).
