This is the 7th Operations Group patch. It shows the 4 squadrons that make up the group. On the bottom rocker it states "7th Operations Group". The 7th Operations Group is the operational flying component of the United States Air Force 7th Bomb Wing, stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. The group is responsible for executing global conventional bombing directed by proper command authority. It is the largest B-1B operations group comprised of 40 B-1s and 1,140 people assigned to four squadrons - 9th and 28th Bomb Squadrons, 7th Operations Support Squadron, and 436th Training Squadron. This patch does not come with velcro.

The 28th Bomb Squadron flies the Rockwell B-1B Lancer intercontinental strategic bomber out of Dyess AFB, TX. It is the largest bomb squadron in the Air Force with a mission to provide B-1B initial qualification, requalification, and instructor upgrade training for Global Strike Command. It is one of the oldest and most decorated units in the Air Force, and when I went through the Bone training, had some of the best instructors I've had the pleasure to know....especially the (late and great) 'TROUT' Gunderson.....Rest In Peace, brother.....

(Another AV8RSTUFF Creation): The 28th Bomb Wing is a USAF unit assigned to the Eighth Air Force (8 AF) of the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) and is stationed at Ellsworth AFB, SD. The wing is also the "host unit" at Ellsworth AFB. The wing is one of only two B-1B Lancer strategic bomber wings in the US Air Force, the other being the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. Active for over 60 years, the 28th was a component wing of Strategic Air Command's deterrent force throughout the Cold War. The 4245 Armament and Electronics Maintenance Squadron was one of the support units for the 28BW many decades ago, conducting the necessary maintenance of both the varying ordnance and fragile electronic components. This patch is a reproduction patch and does not have velcro attached.

The 34BS is part of the 28BW at Ellsworth AFB, SD. It operates Rockwell B-1 Lancer aircraft providing strategic bombing capability. The 34BS is presently the 4th-oldest active squadron in the Air Force, being formed on 10 May 1917, less than a month after the United States' entry into World War I. Members of the squadron participated in World War I, World War II, Korean War, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today, the 343BS stands ready to provide combat-ready aircrews to project global power anytime in support of the Combatant Commander's objectives. I found this patch in a Korean embroidery shop, has the 'theater-made' feel to it with a 'cut-edge' border and twill background, and does not have velcro attached.

This is a custom patch for the 34th BW. It says "We Piss Excellence" across the bottom. I'm not sure the significance of the patch as it was a custom job that the customer changed his mind on. This patch does not come with velcro attached.
