36-tex Posted January 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2011 I helped my son organize his collection of TOMCAT patches. He has always loved the TOMCAT and wanted to join the Navy to fly them. When I told him they were being phased out, it was crisis mode. Anyway, some of you may recognize some of these. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67Rally Posted January 30, 2011 Share #15 Posted January 30, 2011 Very nice - thorough patch collection. He should start getting all the VF squadron patches from the Tomcat-era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normaninvasion Posted January 30, 2011 Share #17 Posted January 30, 2011 These patches bring back alot of memories. Grumman was the bigest employer on Long Island. One of my friend's father worked Fire Rescue. The F-14 was the pride of the Island. I live about 10 miles from the Calverton site, which is abandonded now. Nothing better than being a kid, when Top Gun came out, and having the patches right from the source! Thanks for showing, jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Rally Posted January 30, 2011 Share #18 Posted January 30, 2011 The F-14 is my favorite bird. I was an ASAC on my ships and got to control these (infrequently...mostly, I controlled helos). Such a joy to work with on CAP station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
