2″ hat pin is shaped like the 18th Special Operation Squadron patch and is a copy of the Stinger hat pin. It is a little thicker metal. Very nice pin to show your Stinger Pride on a jacket, vest or hat.
Hat pin is a silhouette of an AC-119G Shadow airplane in flight. It would look good on a hat, vest, party suit or on the lapel of a jacket. Add this item to your pin collection.
The 18th SOS “DaNang Scorpion” formal tie is 100% polyester, created by K. Alexander. It is black with embroidered DaNang Scorpion logo in red. Fit for any formal outing.
The original logo was painted by Sgt. Tom Graham. An account given by Sgt. Graham says the logo was first on the flight line which was requested by Doug Metcalf or the first sergeant. This was done late 1970 or early 1971. After a month, he was requested to paint a second logo at the “OPS’ building on “Gunfighter Row.” This was requested by the Squadron Commander.
2” hat pin has black “17th Special Operations Sq.” lettering on the top, the Black Shadow emblem with “Shadow” printed in red in the middle and “Deny Him The Dark” lettering underneath.
