This is a small version of the Squadron patch, and quite difficult to find, and dates back to the 1980's. The manufacturer is the same one that made the larger version below.

Partly embroidered on twill with a plastic backing, a merrowed edge & a glued pigtail with the giant in Dexter.

305th Rescue Squadron

Selfridge AFB

Full Colour

1990's

This patch dates back to the early 1990's when the unit was based at Selfridge AFB, flying

HC-130's & HH-3's. The Squadron was at Selfridge as a Rescue unit between April 1990 until September 1992. Not a patch you see very often and difficult to find.
