41st Air Rescue Squadron

Shuttle Patch

Patrick AFB

This is the first patch worn by crews of the  41st between 1989 and 1993. As you can see there is three variations of the ARS patch each one slightly different & all different sizes. The one on the left is backed with hook & loop.

A huge thanks goes to Ernie Green, who kindly let me show the patch from his superb collection.

If you have one of these cards you'd be willing to sell, trade or donate, please get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.

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

Thanks👣
