Finally found one

My dad had saved patches from all the Air Force units he was assigned to during his 25 years of service, but his UPT class patches got lost somehow. I've been looking on Ebay and various other places for a few years, and finally got one for him. Class 59-G...and this was also the first UPT class to use the T-37. He never got to fly the T-29, unlike MenendezDiego.

How cool is that!!

Awesome that you were able to find one Bone! It's a nice one too! Love the colors!
 
Bone~ Have you shown it to your Dad yet? If so, I'd be curious to hear of his reaction? If you don't mind sharing of course!
 
No, I haven't yet. He lives in Fort Worth, TX, and I live in Atlanta, GA. I go through DFW on a somewhat regular basis, so the next time I go there, I'll rent a car and swing by his house.

It's kind of a bitter-sweet thing. His UPT class had 20 guys in it, and the patch is from the estate sale of one of those guys.
