Yeah that was the patch I bought from him.

Howdy everyone, It's been a long time since I posted, however, a number of years ago I had Roberto make a Wright Field patch for my A-2 that was eventually stolen. Do you all have a recommendation for someone that makes the 15th AF style patches? My understanding is that Roberto may no...

I saw that, simular signatures but not the same jacket. Mine has the Gibson and Barnes label and the lining is tattered by the collar. Its eight years old and I've worn the hell out of it. Christos This is what it looked like, it was a 46T Mark 43 in Mahogany. The picture is from 2008 and...

I hope I am posting this in the correct forum but here goes: Last night I was at the Dayton, OH Greek Festival and apparently someone stole my Wright Field patched/Autographed A-2 that I wear on occasion from out of my trunk along with my Laptop and Backpack. I recognize that it's just stuff...

Ok I work on WPAFB and this is what I see: In the A-2 Department Mostly the old Coopers, Branded, and the current version of the Avirex/Cockpit A-2. Lots of aircrew members that come in have opted to get those jackets. I have also seen a few san diego leather company jackets in use with velco on...

I own one of those jackets and I wear it frequently...its a nice jacket. my goat has a nice hide and actually comfortable and well made. it still looks new after having it and wearing the hell out of it for the last four years. I never took the velcro off. Christos

I got one off of ebay...Branded Leathers makes them. it's a decent jacket I just wish the lining materials were better. Its trashed in less than 9 months.

Ok...I work on WPAFB as a civilan. I have worn my A-2s and nomex jacket no problems. I used to have one patched up for the 15th AF that I now regret selling and my Wright Field A-2. I also have an Avirex issue A-2 with the velcro still on it. I wear it frequently since its comfortable. I don't...

And mine for that, Meulle Fei, and my Pappou's Vasilopita (new years bread) is a secret no one else in my family knows. Amen!

Yeah that middle incised patch is mine - Roberto made that one for me about three years and and it looks nicely aged now with wear. Aurang also had his 27753 patched with a wright field patch too.

Yeah this time I'm probably going to take both days off and spend the day wandering around Area B and the Museum. Hopefully like the last time they'll have a cocktail hour or something at O Club that I might get tickets for too. The four that I met were truly a class act.

Hey everyone, I was reading WPAFB's Base Paper today at lunch and saw that the NMUSAF (Air Force Museum) is hosting the annual Doolittle Reunion 16-18 April 2010. I went back in 2006 and it was a real treat. If anyone comes please let me know and you all will be my guests. It was the only...

No those arn't Greek Crosses, they're Russian/Serbian Crosses and the text is in either Slavonic or Russian. (Greek Crosses don't have the slanted beam nor the title for King of the Jews)

Hey, I'm 25 years old and I've been on VLJ since 2002 at 18 :)

Eh, this thread has been a bit convoluted...I figured thats what was meant but not sure.
