This is one of the cruise patches for VAQ-142 for their 2017 Deployment onboard the USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) as part of CVW-8. It says “”””FIRE CRUISE”””” (top)/ “”””OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE”””” (bottom) with all the squadron logos along the top of the patch. It has a red “”””creature”””” breathing fire and says “”””HOT AS HELL””””. An absolutely amazing patch they commissioned and was only able to get a few of these!! This patch does not have velcro attached.
