I had been contemplating how to patch an original Albert Turner MA-1 and was inspired by this one from BR's fall 2007 line:

I hunted around and scored a nice lot of original 48th FIS patches on Greed Bay and may patch the jacket like this:
I've got the 48th FIS squadron patch on the right chest; a white stenciled name tag with a F-106 48th FIS "Devils" underneath it to cover the "water stains"; F-106 "Dart" on the right sleeve and early 60's "Air Defense Command" on the left.
The pictured name tag actually reads "500FMS" (and is part of another project) but I intend to get a similar one to put in its place. Some of you may be thinking I should use a plastic pouch and leather name tag with wings but I'm not real keen on those. I am even thinking of stenciling the back like on the BR version but this may be overkill.
What do you guys think? :geek:
P.S. Anyone ever heard of the 500th FMS? I can't find any info about it anywhere but have an original patch and name tag from this unit. I know it's a Field Maintenance Squadron but there was no 500th bomb Wing in SAC and I can't find any record of it being part of the 500th AR Wing either. :?
