Siamundo Posted December 9, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2017 It is a cold wet morning and good for staying indoors so I would take the time to finally get around to posting some unknowns I have had and ask if anyone might be able to help ID them. I have looked through both the usafupt and the usafpatches websites but just haven't been able to hit on any of these. Pretty sure these are both pilot training classes, 1970-05 and 1970-08 but trying to confirm which bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted December 9, 2017 Class 1968-C and 1975-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted December 9, 2017 Class 1969-01 and 1969-05. There is a very slight chance the Gronk patch might have come from Craig AFB in Selma, AL as it was found near there but I can't confirm that.

Siamundo Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted December 9, 2017 Both of these were removed from the same 1960s vintage USAF field jacket covered in US Air Force patches from the 1960s and early 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted December 9, 2017 And the last two. I had wondered if the class 81-17 patch might be from a Navigator class. Thank you for any assistance with any of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 10, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 10, 2017 Class/training stuff is out of my area, but I know a few of these. G Flight is 86 FTS, and the Falcons and 100 missions patch are from the 85 FTS. You are probably correct on the 81-17 patch being navigator related, most are with numbers that high. Since the ones I know came from Laughlin, that might be a good place to start for the class ones. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted December 10, 2017 Thank you Randy, I was hoping you might have some insight on these I thought the patch with the G might be a Flying Training Squadron Flight but I couldn't find it anywhere. I did see there was an 85th Falcon Flight patch on usafpatches but it was entirely different so I didn't know if this might have been an earlier version or something altogether different. I appreciate your expertise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamundo Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted December 11, 2017 Thanks firefighter. I have been using that site for some time time and it is a great reference source for anytime I run across one I cannot readily identify. I had already gone through everything there before posting them here on the forum. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your expertise! I think I have seen several Falcon Flight versions. With class/FT stuff, the rules are out the window. Hopefully you find some correlation with the class patches.
