USAF 302nd Air Rescue Squadron Patch - Circa 1956
Another amazing and really big patch from the 50s-60s - Super hard to Find!
The 302nd Rescue Squadron flew HU-16B Albatross aircraft before being transferred to the Air Force Reserve. In 1971 they received HH-34J Choctaw (refurbished SH/UH-34J Seabat) helicopters. The unit transitioned into HH-3E Jolly Green Giants and UH-1H Hueys in 1974.
