This is a patch worn by a Pilot in the T-37 Checkride flight at either Laughlin AFB, TX; Columbus AFB, MS; or Vance AFB, OK. These are the guys that give all the student pilots their checkrides in the T-37 and just looking at this patch usually brings back bad memories for students. Anyway, the bird on the patch is a Vulture and the Check Section is commonly called the Vulture’s Nest, since all the Checkride Pilots are Vultures and like to prey on the poor innocent students. This patch is also the check pilot patch for Tweets at Laughlin AFB.
