Van's 40th Anniversary Patch-Afghanistan Style
The other day one of the guys I fly with mentions that he's going to get some squadron patches made here on our base before he heads back to the states. Patches? You can do that here? Sure, down at the bizarre, just inside the main gate. Hmmm...I've been wanted to get patches done of Van's 40th Anniversary logo just because I think its a good looking logo. Quick email to Van's and they say, yeah, go ahead, as long as its just for me and not a money making deal. So I had Hajeeb (sp??) make me up a couple and the price was very reasonable considering I only wanted a couple. He even put velcro on the back.
Me and Hajeeb. He was actually happy despite not smiling  .
Close up of patch. Not perfect, but hey, its Afghanistan.

That is very cool! Maybe it will give Van some ideas.
Thank you for your service, now get back home!

me too
OK I'll admit I've been more of a lurker than participant-type in this forum, but this actually is an issue that I have found pretty frustrating. Van's teases us with a very nice looking 40th anniversary patch pdf, but NO ability to purchase!! (FWIW, I can't seem to locate any source for the Van's Air Force patch under the "wing patch" link on this forum either...)
I went to an embroiderer recently to have my son's name and our registration number embroidered on the nametag of the nomex suit he got last year for Christmas (planning ahead for his solo next month when he turns 16!), and she informed me that most shops that create embroidered patches have a minimum order of around 50, which is roughly 49 more than I need.
I second the motion that has been raised that Van's offer the 40th (and the VAF patch) for sale. Please.

Maybe you could get him to make some of the older Vans Airforce patches with the RV-8 that turns in into a line drawing...

late
Mike beat me to it. My first thought was Georgeanna, who easily does one-off shirts, hats, key chain tags, etc. I suspect she can get the OK from the factory to do the patch.

Wow
Did I mention how great this site is? Thanks Mike. Poor Georgeanna is about to have a second career.
Email sent.
