JayBee Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 During a US tour of two German Tornados of JaboG 38 and 31 in the year 1986 several unit badges of all visited AB´s were applied on tail. I asume one of them is from Eglin AFB and looks like this badge on the intake: F-4 Phantom I am looking for a close up picture of that badge to recreate it in Illustrator. I did a search using Google and type in several key words, but find nothing. Maybe someone can help. Thank you. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JayBee Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Thank you Clintstone for the fast reply and help, great image quality! 🙂 I have to admit that I am not very familiar with all the US. sqadrons and crests. Maybe that is the reason I found nothing around the web, I typed in "3247th". What is the reason for "53D Wing" and is it the same inscription for the timeframe in 1986?

Clinstone Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 From what I was able to find, the 3247th was part of the USAF Tactical Air Warfare Center in the 1980s and was eventually redesignated the 53d Wing. Below is what the inscription would have looked like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayBee Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Again a huge "thank you" Clintstone, that makes sense to me. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
