Description just for comparison with the royal tomcat elsewhere in my gallery. this was the official original aircrew patch,and every squadron in the US Navy had their own version. for example-VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" featured the 2-tailed cat dressed as a pirate along with appropriate variations for other Navy units,also the only foreign customer{Iran}had the cat in a persian costume,nicknamed "Ali-Cat} Anytime,Baby!

I use to have a bunch of the patches for the Tomcat. Have no idea where they went. Probably to desert with the aircraft. Very nice collection you have.
