US Army EH-60A Quick Fix "Locate, Monitor, Jam" patch

I just found this patch in my collection and thought I'd share. I got it from the pilot of an EH-60A at an airshow when I was younger, probably ~1986 at Otis AFB in Massachusetts. The EH-60 was a short-lived program to turn a Blackhawk into an EW aircraft.

Just saw this now, what a great patch! Might have come from the EPG at Ft Huachuca AZ. Note sure where my father got it, but someone Id say in the 80s at some point gave him a Sikorsky factory photo of the EH-60A, which the image is shown at the top of the first link you posted. Didnt give say much on the rear other than Sikorsky/UTC and EH-60A on it. Most of the other factory pics like that I have from them give aircraft specs and such on them. I have a EPG patch and zap for SEMA (Special Electronic Mission Aircraft) that shows a EH-60 Quick Fix, RC-12 Guardrail, RV-1D Quick Look II and OV-1D Mohawk aircraft.

Now that you say that, this may have come from an airshow at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson. We moved there in 1987 and went to the D-M airshow several times. I went to a lot of airshows as a kid, after 30+ years it's hard to remember exactly where I got this, but D-M is a good bet.
