ORIGINAL/AUTHENTIC US Air Force 317th Tactical Airlift Wing Crest Patch

Description: RARE because it is an ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC patch from USAF's 317th Tactical Airlift Wing Crest. The 317th Airlift Wing (317 AW) is a United States Air Force unit, stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. Assigned to Air Mobility Command (AMC) Eighteenth Air Force, the 317 AW operates as a tenant unit at Dyess AFB, an installation under the control of the 7th Bomb Wing (7 BW) of the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Previously designated as the 317th Airlift Group (317 AG), the unit was redesignated as the 317th Airlift Wing (317 AW) on 6 July 2017. The 317 AW is a "tactical" airlift organization, flying the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules. Since December 2003, the 317th has been in a continuously deployed status in support of the Global War on Terrorism, with elements being deployed into combat areas. It has been engaged in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF); Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), as well as supporting other Air Expeditionary units around the world. During World War II, the unit's predecessor, the 317th Troop Carrier Group was one of the most highly decorated troop carrier units of the United States Army Air Forces. This patch is in a VERY GOOD condition, has "a cheesecloth" backing, a "cut yellow" border, has an "orange twill" background, does NOT have velcro on the back but does have a little adhesive where it was mounted onto a poster-board, does NOT have sew holes, and shows the dimensions in the photos...the ruler on the right is 6". This is from a USAF patch collection I picked up at the Red River Valley Fighter Pilot Association reunion a while back (just now getting to posting them). It came from a very "METICULOUS" patch collector, and hope to find this gem a good home. Again, I truly believe this is an ORIGINAL ONE-OF only, so grab it while you can, an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the collector (obviously, an AVID patch collector) during his many years of USAF service.
