looking for the VA-152 Fighting Aces - 1968 patch to purchase, been on several web-sites and can’t seem to find it.

This “Bull” photo was taken in 1976. I was an AE1 in VA-37 during that deployment on CV-60 (SARATOGA).
The A7A above caught my eye. I was an ADJ3 aboard Sara with VA-37 on that Med cruise. That was CAG’s plane. Anyone have, or know who sells the original patch (as depicted on the tail of 300?
Thanks for the memories.

I would like to get a patch from VA-174. I served there from 1968-1970 and a VA-37 patch, served from 70-72 aboard the Saratoga. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
I was with VA 72 during desert storm and left the squadron after decom in 91 some of the best days of my life .
Regarding the A-7B photo in the VA-46 file, the location was Cecil Field, near Jacksonville, FL, home of Light Attack Wing One. I was in VA-46 from 1976-78 on the USS John F. Kennedy, then the entire airwing was sent to do deck workups on the new Eisenhower. We did a 6 week “NATO Cruise” in the B model, then transitioned to the new E model for the 7 month Med Cruise.
I have a ton of pix taken on the Kennedy, and in flight, of VA-46 ops. Contact me if you want them. fredsanders@knology.net

I was with VA-37 in 1983 when we were assigned to the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) World Cruise of 1983 , I would really like to hear from someone that remembers me. Due to medical reasons I don’t remember a lot from then. I have ton’s of photographs that I would share.
You may contact me at timfrench@citlink.net
Regarding the A7E photo on Oct.1981. I believe this was taken in Fallon Nev. before we went on workups. I was in Va.15 then, we were attached to USS Independence and were stationed at Cecil Fld Fla.
Anyone from VA-196 know the identity of the pilots of the A-6A shown above?
I was with
VA-174 1978-1982
VA-12 1984-1985
VA-34 1989-1993
I am looking for patches from this Squadrons
Thanks for yow help

I was in VA-303 from Sept 1969 to Sept 1973 stationed in Alameda. I’m looking for anyone that was in at that time. I was an AT-3 on the Integrated Weapons Team (IWT). Would like to find a squadron patch and any photo’s of that time.
