Just spied this patch and could not find anything identical on google. What would the C signify? The variant of aircraft?? Any help greatly appreciated...

Reese AFB in Lubbock, Texas was a reserve pilot training base flying T-38 aircraft until it was closed around 1997 or 1998. My guess is this patch was associated with one of the class squadrons. These sort of patches were not usually as well made since they were not used for very long and not really and official unit/squadron patch.
Reese was used as an Army Air Corps advanced pilot trainig in the 1940s. I believe the city of Lubbock now owns the airfield and it is used for business and private aviation. Hundreds of these airfiedls around Texas. I live near Ellington field which still has some reserve activity and is used by NASA. Also some private activity. Everything from Air Force One to space shuttles being ferried between coasts.

Looks like C Flight of a Flying Training Squadron out of Reese AFB, possibly 54th. I couldn't find the exact patch during my quick search on USAFPatches.com, but it's similar to the patch worn by E Flight.
