OV-10 pilot's patched Tiger Stripe boonie

[mvmhm]

The pilot who brought in his Tiger Stripe flight suit with directly embroidered insignia stopped by today with a nice surprise - his patched boonie...it's on the small size...well, compared to his current-day head. The US flag is the back of the hat, BTW.

Hello,

 

Any information on the group the pilot was assigned? I have this cricket/nail patch on a party jacket and always wondered which FAC group it represented.

 

Thanks much,

I would think it would be the 23d Tactical Air Support Squadron / "Nail" FACs. Boonie patch features the OV-10. Let me hear if I am wrong. That is one amazing patch!

Here is the other side of the "Nail 10" lighter.
