(From the Squadron supplier:) The 36FS is part of the USAFs 51OG at Osan Air Base, South Korea. It operates the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft conducting air superiority missions. The squadron was first activated in 1917 as the 36th Aero Squadron and served in France during World War I, although the war ended before the unit saw combat. It has been continuously active since 1930 as a fighter squadron. This is their ‘LPA’ patch and says ‘FIEND LPA’ / SINCE 1917 / HARRUMPH! / PROVIDING ACES along the border with a (looks like) MiG-17 ‘FRESCO’ on a black/gray checkerboard (representing the USAF Weapons Course). This patch was found in a Korean embroidery shop in very limited quantities, has the “in-theater-made” feel to it, and does not come with velcro attached (note: since this came from a small Korean embroidery shop, the pricing is slightly higher due to shipping)
