And the slogan "Happiness is a warm gun" is from the same titled song on one of my favorite Beatles albums,the White Album.

2 can this be pinned?

 

Thank you

Below is a replica of a patch I had reproduced for a tiger stripe "party jacket" that I replicated based on an original in Richard Johnson's book Tiger Patterns: A Guide to the Vietnam War's Tigerstripe Combat Fatigue Patterns and Uniforms.

Back to the top for MORE SNOOPY!

 

James McDaniels, flew Dolphin and Shark Hueys with the 174th AHC in Vietnam between 67 and 71, Snoopy was emblazoned on his helmet, his scarf and his slick.

Some more I don't think were shown yet. The flight examiner patch was worn by those that dodged SAMs over North Vietnam. The other is a large party suit patch.

[Randy]

Two more from Tactical Air Support Squadrons.

One more, 440 FIS morale patch circa 1959. Normal patch had a black wolf on the rocket.

While looking for something else today, I found a surfing Snoopy

 

UH-2 Kaman Seasprite of HC-7 in flight over the Gulf of Tonkin, circa in 1970

Here is a very early Snoopy from a military stein from 1959 for a US Hospital (40th Tactical) in Etain France. The gold background for the SNoopy/Charlie Brown scene is a highly reflective gold which makes it hard to get a good picture without a lot of reflection.

Nice. I like the Crypto Gang

Seventy Nine Kings is a reference to the J-79 Engines made by General Electric and used on several different US Navy and Air Force jets.

 

I had posted this set a couple of years ago hoping to find an ID for the Tiger Flight patch, but unfortunately still looking.

 

A few more.

 

Navy Fighter Squadron VF 931 was a reserve naval squadron based at NAS Willow Grove, PA and called to active duty in 1968 in response to the Pueblo Crisis

 

Last ones for tonight. 

 

It's been awhile since this thread had any activity so I thought I might start the new year with some new posts.

 

I hadn't seen this variation posted yet.

The 17 Tac Recon Sq was from a NATO Royal Flush competition in 1968. The unit then flew the RF-101 Voodoo, German made. These were held annually until 1975. The 41 TRS designation on the next one was used 66-67, then the unit was designated the 41 Tac Electronic Warfare Sq. It flew EB-66s, Japan made. The 493 TFS D Flight was an F-100 unit stationed at RAF Lakenheath. This is 60s era and Japan made.

 

I had forgotten about this one, thanks for resurrecting it. I have probably another 25 USAF Snoopy ones at least. The first is the 4511 Combat Crew Training Sq, an F-100 unit, used from 65-69. In 69 it became the 426 Tac Fighter Training Sq and simply carried the design forward on the approved squadron shape.  It later flew F-4Cs. The other is a Japan made one for 1000 missions in an F-101B fighter, as used by USAF Interceptor units.
