CAG-19 & CVA-34 Oriskany From G&B

[anthonyhie]

Finally I received these two patches from Gibson&Barnes, high quality and accurate reproduction of the originals...CAG-19 & CVA-34 Oriskany.
The size of the cva-34 is accurate about 5mm less diameter than the most reproduction on market.

I really regret not getting their Toko-Ri jacket when I had the chance.

Aren’t those also on the Top Gun Mav jacket? Was his Dad at Toko Ri?

Yes they are...The topgun original jacket was founded in a shop with the patches on, then reproduced many times by the crew. The patches were not choosen in a consistency way...So it seems that there was no link between the jacket from his dad in the story and Tokyo-Ri. Except viper has said that he serve with him VF-51 in the Oriskany carrier.
Also Oriskany Carrier patch was not official but created by the film crew of Tokyo-ri

To me, the jacket looks like something that might have been owned by a Mustang (former enlisted man) officer. It has patches for surface and shore assignments, and also the Chief pin on the pocket.
