Patch collection flight jacket
Leave it to Chuck to come up with an oversized jacket just to make sure he can fit ALL his patches on it. I wonder how many of them are TOP GUN patches, lol.
Speaking of patches: If you are into aviation patches, take a look at my side project, our affiliate and Chicken Wings dealer in the US, AVIATORwebsite.
Besides the Chuck and Julio Patches we made for our 20th anniversary, you might recognize a bunch of Stef’s artworks in many of them. We have commissioned him many times already for a bunch of different squadrons. As kids growing up in Austria, we would have never imagined we’d be mixing it up with the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels one day. I think it’s really cool. The only bummer for me is that the F-14 Tomcat and the SR-71 disappeared. I could have gone a few more years seeing them at airshows and Stef would have loved to draw designs for them.

Just to mention: when Chuck was a kid, there was an arcade home video game which must have been his favourite – “Top Gun” on Dendy 🙂
