The only thing we flew was paper!!
It was a student training squadron. We provided military training, housing and support for about 800 students who were enrolled in a ultra top-secret school called - for want of a better name - "Special Instruments." We were the equivalent of a college Dean of Students, if you will.
The only "official" flights I took on USAF planes was to and from a badminton tournament in Texas.
However, most of those in the USAF did not fly planes, and were in support positions of one sort or another.
The best thing was that I met my wife in Colorado - the furthest east I had ever been (being from San Diego), and the furthest west my wife had ever been, being from Washington, DC.
Sorry to disappoint you!!
Incidentally, I found that patch - which I never kept - on an internet search. There is a web page which collects and displays all sorts of military patches and other stuff.
