Unknown USAF patch--Can you ID?

[Siamundo]

Nice old US Air Force but I have no idea which unit. Any ideas of who, where and possibly when? Thank you very much

Nice looking patch! :thumbsup: Not much help on the Air Force stuff but seem to recall this one on a fellas jacket that had been in Thiland or the area. Hope this helps! Or steer the AF guys in the right direction. :think:

Not sure if the "Gallery" section is back on line but at this site USAFpatches.com there is a search section that you can type in the "motto" and it should get you an ID if the patch is in thier database, if not try this guy, [email protected] he a good help with the older patches like this .

Hey Terry, thanks I had just found it on a CD-ROm a friend sent me of his stuff and he has it as the 3574th Flightline Maint.Sqd. ?

Same patch but different number .

[Siamundo]

Thank you gentleman. I do appreciate the ID. To be honest, I have never heard of this type of squadron designation before-flightline maintenance squadron. Neato.

This thread helps explain Maintenance Squadrons. Member THorstead does a great job chronicling the evolution....
