doyler Posted March 23, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 23, 2014 Was pretty common for guys to join or have Sky Diving/Sport Diving clubs in the 60s and 70s. Also the units may have had their own demonstration(jump) teams as well.Im guessing its a Club or Team patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1SG_1st_Cav Posted March 23, 2014 Share #7 Posted March 23, 2014 There was a very large Sport Parachute Club membership at Ft Campbell when I was there in 1961-63. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekj Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted March 24, 2014 I like the photo also . It is a action shot and not a posed picture . There had been a piece of paper glued on the back at one time . Thanks everyone for the help and comments !! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcollector Posted March 30, 2014 Share #9 Posted March 30, 2014 Two examples of the patches used by the Fort Campbell Parachute Club. One earlier example (on the right) probably dating to the 1960's-1970's, the second (on the left) probably dating from the 1980's-1990's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
