Re: 510th Fighter Squadron
The 510th with the Patience My **** statement is intriguing in that a patch with a similar sentiment was about in 1991 for an AC130 gunship I am not into patches so have no idea if this has been used many times by many units https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54049813091_980925eb03_o.jpg Gulf War ...

Re: 510th Fighter Squadron
Yes the 555th are deployed and they have 'borrowed' some of the 510th aircraft. But they also have 510th flight crew participating too. As these patches were obtained from a 510th pilot.

Fairford Movements
Hi all
Any activity today, if anyone is at the fence? Whether U2 or B52 related. (I know you can't post U2 take offs etc) Any insight would be appreciated.
