VF-755J. I collect USAF, but sometimes get the occasional USN patch in. Thought I would post this one here as it's kind of intriguing. Can't seem to find out much other than it's a reserve unit most likely at NAS Los Alamitos. I'm assuming the J is for jet. the USAF did the same during the transition period from props. Any info welcomed!

VF-5A from 1947 with Bearcats. I also have the book from the carrier Shangri-La with all the crew names from crossing the Equator, they came together. All my USN is for trade if anyone is interested. I have a small bag of Navy stuff to part with for older USAF.

VU 6 Flew drones before most people knew what drones were.

VFT-24 GREEN ACES, Scant information on this Training squadron but it has the look and feel of a 50's to 60's patch

 

I've had this one for several years and have run it by the prop gurus but no joy. Any detailed info would be appreciated

They were stood up again in 1977 as an F-4 Fleet Replacement Sq. They inactivated again in 1984. That's an F-4 on your patch, pretty sure it's this time frame.
