Hi Folks: Not really sure what I have here besides bunch of USN aviation, NASA and more patches...the foreign yellow patch w/red tiger? Top Gun patch, Tail Hook Association ,,,& strange patch "Ski Mugia Pass 5300 el. NVN Exciting Trails"...Ski patch??

 

The US Navy Captain was an Intruder aviator and retired and I picked these up along with a compass, knee pilot writing pad..

Thanks Chris....I didn't know Akron was for USN Squadron "VA" ...but I knew he was an A-6 pilot. Makes sense.....I'm trying to ID many of these patches...I've never seen. Some foreign patches.....NASA shuttle patches....and some for missiles (Harpoon, etc...) some are just unknown

 

TRAM....A6 aircraft but TRAM????

Some unknown patches..."Red Rippers" and "Felix" the Cat? The "Bulls Atkron 37" is for VA-37...right?

 

The Red Rippers is FITRON ELEVEN VF-11, (now VFA-11) http://www.seaforces.org/usnair/VF/Fighter-Squadron-11.htm

 

Your Felix the Cat patch is probably a VF-31 Tomcatters patch http://www.seaforces.org/usnair/VFA/Strike-Fighter-Squadron-31.htm

 

and VA-37 is the correct ID on the other one

USS America 1981 "Perth" Australia?

 

USS America CV-66 1981 Indian Ocean "GONZO STATION"

 

Cruise patches from the 1981 USS AMERICA (CV-66) Westpac/Indian Ocean cruise. Perth Australia was one of their port calls and Gonzo Station is a yo-yo point in the Indian Ocean

The Tomcat is a generic F-14 patch as is the Maverick Missile patch made for flight jackets
