USAF / 56th ARS / HH-3E / Jolly Green Giant

56th Air Rescue Squadron
NAS Keflavik, Iceland
Friday Patch
Full Colour
1989-1993
This is a Friday night bar patch for obvious reasons. The 56th was only an Air Rescue Squadron from 1989 until 1993 so makes this a HH-3 patch, possibly a HH-60 patch as the Pavehawk arrived at the Squadron in 1992.
Partly embroidered on twill with a merrowed edge & the Giant in Sinister.


56th Air Rescue Squadron

Friday Patch
Full Colour
1989-1993
A number of patches were made with characters on them based on where the Squadron was based. As the 56th was based at Iceland, their character was an Icelandic Viking. 
Research has discovered that these patches weren’t used by anyone in the Squadron and they were made and purchased by crew who bought them in South Korea. I've included this just in case you come across one & wonder what it is.
Embroidered on twill with a schiffli edge with the Viking in Dexter.

If you have any additional information about this patch please contact me & I´ll get back to you.
Thanks👣
