History Friday - Patches

[Insubordinate & Churlish]

I heard about a quite crass patch worn in the F-15 community, regarding a certain event, that says "It wasn't us" and a different but similar patch worn in a certain F-15 squadron that says "It wasn't me".

Anyone heard of it/ have a picture of it?

here's another, Vietnam era. This one's also on the KIKR patch wall.

Thought I would post this here since this patch is history. A lot of WTFs: The quote itself, The complaints, Congress telling the AF what it should have on its patches, etc...

of all the patches to complain about...

Speaking of "In God We Trust," here are a couple cool ones:

Friday patches? What are those?

Great patch.

Friday patches? What are those?

Nothing...just urban legends...

This was the rough draft

We later changed it to read "Militant EW Union Local 23"

Here's the 5 BW patch:

A close friend of mine runs this site.  He's ALWAYS looking for patches.  The collection is already willed to the Smithsonian when he passes away.

My Close friend BANJO's patches from upt.  We were supposed to make a class graduation plaque for him. He gave me these wings and class patches at Rucker but somehow (if you know BANJO) he focused on a nice young lady and forgot to give some important information about himself for the plaque.. the wives club didn't make him one.. (it was kinda funny) We flew our final checkride in Supt H together.   I always looked at him like a younger brother.. he was smart as fuck and had the humor to go along with it.

He died with Jolly 22. 

History and class patches. 

I miss you man!
