USAF Patch Help Needed

[skio]

Picked this USAF patch up today but need a positive ID if anyone can help. I think it is E Flight for the 436th TFTS or TFS. USAFpatches.com does not have it listed under the 436th. Thanks in advance!

I think this one is a Flying Training unit "Flight" patch, tyr this site , usafupt.com

Check under the bases section, theres a lot of them to go through but a really nice bunch of patches to view while doing so .

Steve-

 

I'm with Johnny, most likely FTS. The TFS/TFTS units only had A thru D flights the last 40 years or so. FTS had them thru the alphabet. I know the design looks similar, but it's not uncommon to see certain designs "borrowed" by other units.

The spade makes me wonder if it is 436th TFTS

Mystery Solved, I went to the site usafupt.com and found this patch there, it is the patch for the "ACE" accelerated co-pilot enrichment for the 71st Flying training wing, they flew/fly out of Plattsburgh AFB w/380th Bomb Wing, it was the "Operating Location E" for them hence the "E' and the "ACE SPADE" and if you don't believe me see for yourself under the "ACE" bar on the usafupt.com site.
