(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 patch says “FIEND MX” (Top) and shows their mascot with a wrench clenched in it’s teeth. This patch was created for those hard-working maintainers that always gave us great jets to break, then we’d limp home with them, turn them back in, and they’d fix it good as new. 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.
