Hello to all in the group! I'm new to the forum and need a little help identifing the squadron markings on a USAF P-3 helmet that I just acquired.

It has a Cobra with lightning bolts and smoking a cigarette painted on both sides. Supposed to be out of Laughlin Air Force base in Texas from the 50's. Any info would be appreciated, Thanks, c7zx

Hello again, its been about a year since I posted this to the forum looking for information about what squadron this P-3 helmet may represent ? I came across a patch on Ebay that comes the closest I've found to date. This patch for the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing has a cobra and a lightning bolt.

 

I can't find much on this Wing during the Korean War as it may have only existed on paper for a few months at the end of the war? Anyone know anything about this Wing or this patch ? Any info appreciated, C7zx
