Subdued Patch 1983-1984

Subdued (1983-1984)

This patch, sent in by Dick Jonas on 17 July 2001, was worn by him on his flight suit while flying in the 80th in 1983-1984.  It has Velcro to allow removal before flight.

Shortly thereafter, about 84-85, The pilots went to the bright-colored patches with Velcro, while the non-fliers had these subdued ones on their BDU's. This is the patch that all our ground personnel wore on their fatigues---our life support, 702's, admin officer, and maintenance troops--- in 1985-1986.  It was sewn on above the right breast pocket.
