Number 7 is my favorite.

#8 or #12, but my real favorite is the 352nd Squadron, in Europe. wink

There is only ever one acceptable answer to this question wink



Barring that I'd choose 7. I'm a sucker for those sorts of emblems.

If I'm not mistaken, the marine squadron in the show "Space Above and Beyond" had an insignia similar to #7.

Of those, #7 and then #12.

Can't go wrong with the Jolly Roger...but my favorite will be the squadron from which I retired: 963rd Airborne Air Control Squadron (The Blue Knights).



I received an F-16B incentive ride in 1995 with the Hellions (#3 in the original post).



And keeping with the Jolly Roger theme, here's one I picked up from an Army aviator in South Korea.



Lots more in my collection. wink

There's only one for me...



Lancaster squadron under Guy Gibson in WW2. Breached the German dams, then flew Vulcans in the Cold War. Now I think it's Tornadoes.

And his ghost may be heard if you pass by that billabong

They just disbanded recently..to be re-formed when they receive the F-35 in 2018. A travesty, disbanding 617!

As for my favourite squadron patch, 331 Sqdn, RNoAF. Their motto is "For Norway"



In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

They did good work later in the war, servicing hardened U-boat pens in France with precision-delivered tallboy bombs.

And of course they sank the Tirpitz.

Cream of the cream. Amazing unit.
