USAF 67th Aerospace Rescue & Recovery Squadron / Jolly Green Patch
This classic and nice JGG patch was kindly donated for the collection by my friend and fellow collector AMR from the USAF Jolly Green Giant Collection. Circa 1980's.
The 67th ARRS operated the HH-53C & the HC-130 at RAF Woodbridge, UK until the unit split in 1988 as the 21st SOS took over the HH-53C's, & the 67th kept the HC-130's. This patch dates back to the early 1980's & has a bit of grime with wear & tear of being well used.

The 67th ARRS conducted rescue and recovery operations in the European area, including spacecraft recovery in the Atlantic, Oct 1952-Mar 1960 and May 1961-Jun 1988. Supported special operations forces conducting NATO operations over Northern Iraq, 1991 and 1993. Conducted extraction, infiltration and resupply missions into hostile territory; also supported search and rescue, medical evacuations, humanitarian operations and air refueling to special operations helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft, 2000-.
