US USAF A-10 Warthog Squadron Patch

The US USAF A-10 Warthog Squadron Patch is a cloth insignia representing squadrons equipped with the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, commonly referred to as the “Warthog.” The A-10 has served with the United States Air Force since the late 1970s, primarily in a close air support role. Squadron patches such as this are traditionally worn on flight suits or jackets by personnel assigned to A-10 units. The design typically incorporates imagery associated with the aircraft or squadron, such as stylized depictions of the Warthog, unit numbers, or distinctive emblems. Materials generally include embroidered fabric with colored stitching, and many patches utilize hook-and-loop backing for easy attachment and removal. These patches serve both as an identification marker and as a symbol of unit heritage and camaraderie. The item reflects standard military insignia and is of interest to collectors, historians, and those studying contemporary United States Air Force history.
