nguoi tien su Posted May 12, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2008 Good morning, Sorry I have been too quick, and the title stay the same as the other post... This patch is South Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF). It is on an advisor flight suit. The original owner was assigned to the 522nd FS. He was in VN from january 65 to january 67. The Skyraider and the yellow and black background are the symbols of this unit. I don't understand why it is written 83rd SAG. (Special Activity Group????). An other well know VNAF unit is the 83rd SOG. This patch is also on the suit. Was the 83rd SAG the first name of the 83rd SOG? Thanks for your help.

Johnny Signor Posted June 12, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 12, 2008 Hello SAG also stands for Search Attack Group,it is most likely a USAF/SVN co-op unit A-1 Skyraiders I'd say. Johnny Signor [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguoi tien su Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted June 20, 2008 Johnny, Thanks for the reply. The US advisors of this unit were indeed flying A1 with the Vietnamese of the 522nd FS. NTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchcollector Posted April 29, 2018 Share #7 Posted April 29, 2018 Here are dealer pics of an 83rd Special Activities Group I picked up.Mine is a lot saltier than the OP one. The 83rd SAG was a very interesting unit that flew Skyraiders on missions over North Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
