@tokyo_mikann 横からすみません。sourdoughsは長年アラスカで暮らしている人の事を意味していて、Spirit of the Sourdoughsは「アラスカを故郷として切り拓き、厳しい環境の中でたくましく生きてきた人々への敬意を表したもの」という意味だそうで、パンとは関係ないです🍞

@Eirik336 Here’s a photo that I took at the Yokota airbase friendship festival this year. An F-2 from Hyakuri airbase was there and they had this patch board at their booth but they clearly said “Not for sale” You can see the empty table 😭
@Eirik336 Well it’s not impossible. It’s about what you are after. Just squadron patches? Then there are many airshow vendors but if you are looking for something like deployment patches or anniversary patches that are only meant for crew members, they will difficult.
@Eirik336 Of course there are commercial made patches out there. Local embroidery shops selling overruns and reruns. Those patches are easier to obtain as we can find them even on the internet.
@Eirik336 squadron unless you have “connections” with the members. Mind you, there are what we call “authentic patches” listed on auction sites time to time but usually their price is ridiculous.
