USAF 444th FIGHTER INTERCEPTOR SQUADRON Patch
This product data sheet is originally written in English.
This US Air Force machine-embroidered patch measures 3.75" by 3", used condition. A great find for any military collectible enthusiast.
Reactivated in 1954 as part of Air Defense Command as an air defense squadron, the 444th FIS was equipped with the F-86D Sabre Interceptor and assigned to Charleston AFB, South Carolina with a mission for the air defense of Charleston and the military facilities in the region. Was upgraded to the North American F-86L Sabre in 1957, an improved version of the F-86D which incorporated the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment, or SAGE computer-controlled direction system for intercepts. Was re-equipped with new McDonnell F-101B Voodoo supersonic interceptor, and the F-101F operational and conversion trainer in 1960. The two-seat trainer version was equipped with dual controls but carried the same armament as the F-101B and were fully combat-capable. Operated the Voodoos until September 1968, the aircraft being passed along to the Air National Guard and the squadron inactivated as part of the general drawdown of the ADC active-duty interceptor force.
