Great topic, I have dozens of cartoon related patches. Here's a couple with Yosemite Sam and the Tasmanian Devil. If you look close enough, you'll see they equipped Taz with a little extra down below...

A pair from the USAF Academy cadet squadrons with the Roadrunner and Pink Panther.

Donald Duck of the 438 FIS and Wally Gator.

 

 

 

Bill the Cat of training class 86-07 ENJJPT and Porky Pig from an inter-squadron competition in the 435 TFTS. The 435 trained future A-10 pilots in the AT-38B, hence the hog/pig tie in.

 

 

 

Some old school here, with 2 from Lil' Abner. Lonesome Polecat of the 18th Tac. Recon. Sq, and Hairless Joe of the 32 TRS, late 50s-early 60s.

 

 

 

Last for now, though I have lots more. Sylvester the Cat, top one RF-51 KW era from the 45th TRS, the other from class 86-03, complete with trademark lisp.  Randy
