Vietnam era patch

80th Tactical Fighter Sq -- 1960's to early 1980's

The yellow "Headhunter" patch on the Norman-style shield was later worn extensively during the Vietnam War, modified as shown.

In the summer of 1971 when the Squadron picked up the nickname of JUVATS, the above patch was modified again by replacing "HEADHUNTERS" with "JUVAT" on end-of-tour plaques and coffee mugs; however, the "HEADHUNTER" patch was not changed for flight suits.  It was discarded in favor of the original-style WWII patch during the early 1980s, but is still worn sometimes today on special occasions.
