woofdog19 Posted December 10, 2012 #1 Posted December 10, 2012 I purchased a significant number of items from Adrian Drew's estate. He set the world speed record in the F-101 Voodoo. He flew a number of different aircraft such as the F-105 and squadrons like the 15th TRS during Vietnam. I have not been able to identify a couple of the patches I got in this grouping. Here is the first patch. Thanks for any help identifying this one, Paul
Johnny Signor Posted December 10, 2012 #2 Posted December 10, 2012 Looks like one of the "DEW LINE" types of Far North Radar units Johnny Try over on USAFpatches.com In thier "Gallery" section
firefighter Posted December 10, 2012 #3 Posted December 10, 2012 I agree.Look's like radar domes with F-106's.Could be Niagara Fall's.Look's like waterfall's in the foreground.Not sure about the goat / ram.
woofdog19 Posted December 13, 2012 Author #4 Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks for taking a look. The information defintely gives me a couple of new starting points to do some more research on identifying the patch. Thanks, Paul
JB95 Posted December 2, 2022 #6 Posted December 2, 2022 Hello, I was a neighbor of Col. Drew growing up and he was one of my inspirations to become a pilot. I got to spend a lot of time with him, knew him well and I referred to him as my Uncle. I unfortunately didn't know about the estate sale until years later. What items of his do you have? I am trying to locate his helmet. He showed it to me once and I will never forget it. He is wearing it in the youtube video of his record breaking flight. Hopefully you are still on this forum! Thank you
