History: Variations of this morale patch have been worn by multiple squadrons. This one is based off of one worn on missions by RC-135 crews in the early 2000s.
Spoiler
The RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft, with its extensive antennae array, provides vital real-time battle management information to mission planners, commanders and warfighters. The aircraft is a high-altitude version of the C-135, which is a militarized version of the Boeing 707. It provides direct, near real-time reconnaissance information and electronic warfare support to theater commanders and combat forces.
The RC-135 typically flew alone, and had more Mig encounters than any other platform. Undeterred and unafraid, crews defiantly wore this patch, with the phrase “I ain’t afraid of no migs.”
