I picked up several USMC aviation related patches from an estate sale out of the midwest last week and thought I would share. There are some unusual units here, and all of the patches appear to be foriegn made!

 

First up is a 6" Marine Air Traffic Control Unit 62 patch.

And the last one is not strictly USMC, but I had to get this one due to the size of the patch. This is a Landing Craft Air Cushion patch from the Westpac 1988 tour. this patch measures over 12" wide and 8" tall!

MATCU-70/MABS-24, Kaneohe Bay, was part of 1st Marine Brigade - same as your VMO patch and MATCH-62 was in VN in 69... there must be a connection between the group of patches - to an individual Marine?
