Operation Iron Hand was a joint United States Air Force (USAF) and United States Navy (USN) operation conducted from 1965 to 1973 during the Vietnam War. It was a type of Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) mission, primarily intended to suppress Soviet-supplied surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems in North Vietnam, although neutralizing radar-directed anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) was important as well. "Iron Hand" refers both to the development of the tactics and equipment, and the numerous individual "Iron Hand missions" that generally accompanied strike packages of the USAF and USN. The "Iron Hand" is a metaphor to the steady hand and nerves of steel it took for pilots to fly directly at the radar-emitting anti-aircraft missile sites while the radar-seeking missiles flew down to destroy the target. The tactics employed on the Iron Hand missions were primarily designed to diminish the threat of SA-2 missiles to a bombing strike force. This patch was created for those aircrew members that flew at night to activate the SAMs so that those carrying the ARM/HARM missiles could launch their weapon and let it "ride the beam" all the way down to the source.....This patch does not come with velcro attached.

Wild Weasel is a code name given by the United States Armed Forces, specifically the US Air Force, to an aircraft, of any type, equipped with radar-seeking missiles and tasked with destroying the radars and SAM installations of enemy air defense systems. "The first Wild Weasel success came soon after the first Wild Weasel mission 20 December 1965 when Captains Al Lamb and Jack Donovan took out a site during a Rolling Thunder strike on the railyard at Yen Bai, some 75 miles northwest of Hanoi." The Wild Weasel concept was developed by the United States Air Force in 1965, after the introduction of Soviet SAM missiles and their downing of U.S. strike aircraft over the skies of North Vietnam. This mission was flown by the F-4, F-100, A-4, F-105 and now the F-16 with the F-35 slated to replace them. This is the red version of that historic patch and comes with velcro attached.

They are old, so no guarantee on how long they last and I only have SIX of them left.....Came out of the Bill Ridley collection.....

Naval Air Warfare Centers are research organizations within Naval Air Systems Command. The Centers are grouped into different divisions, each with a different history and location. In the 1990's, it was closed from it's original base in Pennsylvania and combined with the other test divisions at NAS Patuxent River, MD. This is the triangular version of their squadron patch that shows (what looks like to me) an F-16 Fighting Falcon and this patch does NOT have velcro attached.
