German Air Force Air Transport Wing 61 Squadron Patch

The German Air Force Air Transport Wing 61 Squadron Patch represents Lufttransportgeschwader 61 (LTG 61), a unit of the German Air Force established in 1957. LTG 61 was primarily responsible for air transport missions, including logistical support and humanitarian aid, until its disbandment in 2017. The squadron was based at Penzing Air Base and operated a variety of fixed-wing transport aircraft, such as the Transall C-160. The patch typically features the unit’s emblem, which may include elements symbolizing its airborne mission and affiliation with the German Air Force. These patches were worn on uniforms by squadron personnel as part of standard identification and esprit de corps. Collectors of military insignia may find such patches significant due to their association with key post-war German military operations and NATO activities. This item is suited for those interested in modern German military history and squadron insignia.
