hink441 Posted August 22, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2019 Any ideas on this one? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted August 22, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2019 Probably an AEMS unit (Armaments and Electronic Maintenance Squadron) but the number is missing from the patch A clue, the Eagle is flying over the Japanese home islands, could have been based at Yokota, Misawa, Kadena etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted August 22, 2019 Share #3 Posted August 22, 2019 Never saw it that I can recall, and I'm away from my references. But, it looks fighter air defense related with the missile/gun and radar like bolts over Japan. The two primary AD wings in Japan were the 35th and 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wings. A couple others that had AD roles for a bit were the 18th FBW and 4th FIW/FBW/FDW. This patch matches none of the AEMS I've seen for these units, but that means nothing as they changed designs often then. Could also be a patch done up by a TDY unit, a common occurrence. I'll take a look this weekend if nobody has ID'd it by then. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
