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.
