The 'Red Lancers' of VP-10 fly the P-3C Orion out of NAS Brunswick, ME. They were established in March 1951 and currently are flying their "Outlaw Hunter" version of the Orion that uses Over the Horizon (OTH) technology to detect targets. This is one of their latest det patch from CAC-4 to Sigonella, Spain in 2002. For the "ish" part, this information comes directly from that crew.........I was perusing your site, which is well put together I might add, and as VP-10, CAC-4's Plane Commander, and eventual Mission Commander in Sig I wanted to clarify for you the 'ish part of the CAC-4 patch. With a procession of high quality individuals as part of our crew, including CDR Dan Schebler, LCDR(Sel) Aaron Dimmock, and LT Mark Hill we were extremely effective. However, a big part of our effectiveness was CDR Schebler's uncanny ability to drop buoys or weapons using his own "timing". When asked if he had dropped in accordance with manuals, his answer was always followed with an "ish". It seems silly, but hearing it on virtually every drop, every day, it became a part of our language and everything suddenly included the suffix -ish. Can you imagine flying a flight and 11 people all respond to questions with an -ish.....somehow it worked for our crew. You got it folks, straight from the crew........

Patrol Squadron Twenty Eight (VP-28) has well deserved its place in the long and honorable history of Naval Aviation. Formed in the trying and difficult times of 1943, at the height of battle, Patrol Squadron Twenty Eight (VP-28) went to service with P4Y 'Liberators' in the Pacific Theatre. While in combat, the pilots of VB-l08 developed the low-level bombing techniques that are standard tactical practice today. After careful planning, one of the pilots, skimming the 'Pistol Packin' Mamma' just above the waves to avoid Japanese radar, practically reduced the island stronghold of Mille to a shambles in a single pass over the runway. Caught completely by surprise, the enemy had no time even to pull off the gun covers before the plane had thoroughly strafed, bombed, and leveled the base and gone on to sink a Japanese supply ship in the harbor with his remaining two bombs. The day of the low-level surprise attack was at hand, devised by the pilots and men of VB-l08. 'Liberator's' to the utmost for in the latter five months of 1945 VPB-l08 flew 731 combat missions, sank or damaged more than 200 enemy ships and shot down three Japanese aircraft. Soon after, on V-J day, ten aircraft of VPB-l08 flew low over Truk in formation as part of the surrender ceremonies. They had more than won the honor to participate in the surrender of the "Pacific Gibraltar". After World War II, the squadron returned to Hawaii and conducted advance base operations on Guam, Kwajalein, and Okinawa. The squadron was redesignated VP-28 on the First of September, 1948. Called again to action in 1949, at the beginning of the Korean conflict, VP-28 flew patrols covering the waters in and around the Formosa Straits. The squadron returned briefly to Hawaii to train new personnel, then re-deployed to Itami, Japan, maintaining day and night vigilance over North Korea and along the Communist-held China Coast. Later, working closely with units of Marine Land Forces, Patrol Squadron Twenty Eight (VP-28)helped develop night flare dropping techniques that proved particularly effective against the night time 'human sea', tactics used by the massed attacking Communist troops. As a result of outstanding performance of duty, Patrol Squadron Twenty Eight (VP-28) received the Korean Presidential Unit Citation. In 1952, after nearly ten years residence in the Hawaiian Islands, Patrol Squadron Twenty Eight (VP-28) adopted a "new look" by exchanging their old and honorable P4Y's which had done such long and dependable service for the newer P2V "NEPTUNES", along range reconnaissance and anti-submarine patrol plane. The following year, in recognition of their beautiful home base and their long term of residence there, VP-28 changed its name to the "Hawaiian Warrior" squadron. During the present tour in Kodiak, the men and planes of the "Hawaiian Warrior" squadron have flown in the Alaskan-Aleutian area in all kinds of weather, safeguarding our far Northern Defense Perimeter. In addition, they have also conducted search and rescue mercy missions, training, and ice I reconnaissance patrols far into the Arctic North of Alaska. I don’t have any further info on this squadron prior to 1990. This patch does not come with Velcro attached.
