1968 US Air Force Pilot Flight Jacket MA-1 L-Size Vintage RARE! The 363rd is a unit that specializes in low-altitude, high-speed nighttime flights and nighttime photographic surveys, and was remarkably active during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Despite the fact that the 363rd’s aircraft are supersonic and capable of fighting in combat, they are an elite unit of a different kind. It is as difficult as suicide for a pilot to read and fly through invisible terrain at high speed and in the dark of night. So the training for the mission is also very special. There are 16 units in the right arm, but this is not a false historical fact, as the unit was reorganized and the 363rd later became the 16th. The aircraft handled during this period was the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo. The F-101 was initially developed as an aircraft to escort bombers. The success of this aircraft in nighttime low altitude, high speed flights and nighttime photographic survey missions made the U. Army feel good, and the aircraft was redesigned as the next generation McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. At that time, the unit was reorganized and renamed the 16th. Thus, the patch shows that the owner of this flight jacket flew two different types of aircraft. The name tag is removable, so we will send it with the one in the image. This name tag is a Top Gun character and does not belong to the previous owner. Depending on the location, we may require a few additional days. We may use reused packing materials. We will deliver with care. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\Militaria (Date Unknown)\Air Force”.
