Description: The size of this patch is 3.4" x 3.4".During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Air Force's 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron was deployed to Southeast Asia to support American military efforts in the region. The 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron was part of the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, which was stationed at Phan Rang Air Base in South Vietnam.The 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron's primary aircraft during the Vietnam War was the Republic F-105 Thunderchief, commonly known as the "Thud." The F-105 was a supersonic fighter-bomber and was heavily used by the U.S. Air Force for strike missions against enemy targets in North Vietnam.The squadron's missions in Vietnam varied but typically included conducting bombing runs, attacking enemy supply routes, airfields, and other strategic targets. They were also involved in providing close air support to ground troops during various operations.The Thunderchief's missions over North Vietnam were particularly dangerous due to the presence of sophisticated enemy air defenses, including surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery. The high-intensity nature of these missions earned the F-105 pilots a reputation for their bravery and skill in the face of significant threats.The 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron, like many other units, faced substantial losses during the Vietnam War. Some of the squadron's aircraft and pilots were lost in combat operations, and several personnel were taken as prisoners of war by North Vietnamese forces.The squadron's service in Vietnam was part of the wider U.S. military involvement in the conflict, which lasted from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. After the Vietnam War, the 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron returned to the United States.Today, the 120th Fighter Squadron continues its service as a part of the Colorado Air National Guard, where it operates the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The squadron's history in Vietnam remains a significant chapter in its legacy and in the history of the U.S. Air Force's involvement in the Vietnam War.-SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK.-COMBINED SHIPMENT OF MULTIPLE ITEMS IS REDUCED TO SAVE YOU MONEY.-PAYPAL PAYMENT IS ACCEPTED.
