Phantomf4 Posted January 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2015 Anyone know what unit? It's a bigger patch about 6 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinjmpr Posted January 27, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2015 The OV-10 Bronco was a propeller-driven observation and CAS aircraft flown by the USAF during Vietnam. My guess is that what you have is a jacket patch from a Bronco pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Patrol Posted January 27, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 27, 2015 That's a very kool patch.....I'm not familiar with the design but I could see the OV-10 Bronco connection. The embroidery style is very unusual too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted January 29, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2015 The backing reminds me of Thai made patches.The Navy (VAL-4) & Marines (VO squadrons) also flew the Bronco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted January 7, 2016 Share #8 Posted January 7, 2016 Will move this into the patch area and maybe you will get more replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted January 7, 2016 Share #9 Posted January 7, 2016 It may not be for a specific unit, but rather a generic patch for OV-10 pilots and crews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomf4 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for moving it. Seems weird nobody has seen one, and the embroidery is a strange swirl pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1SG_1st_Cav Posted January 12, 2016 Share #11 Posted January 12, 2016 The US Army also flew Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted January 12, 2016 Share #12 Posted January 12, 2016 The Thai Air Force also flew the OV-10 Bronco for quite some time, as did several foreign air forces. I know the Marines and even the Navy used them as well, but don't recall the Army having them. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
