Randy Posted May 6, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 6, 2016 61-1 is possibly a class number for pilot training. Many classes made up their own unique patch. This is just a guess, I've never seen this one before. Looks Japan made. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted May 6, 2016 Share #3 Posted May 6, 2016 Those are Japanese pilot's wings at the bottom. It most likely a JSDF patch rather than USAF. Not sure the USAF taught Japanese pilots in the 1960's..... -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted May 6, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 6, 2016 They did throughout the 1950s, but I couldn't tell you when it reverted back to the Japanese. Good catch on the wings, I didn't connect that at first. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted May 7, 2016 Share #5 Posted May 7, 2016 Very cool patch. I know Shepard had foreign pilot classes but did another base(s) have them.Could be from an AFB in Oklahoma or someplace were the Indian Chief would be popular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
