USAF US Air Force 416th Ghost Riders AMU Aircraft Maintenance Unit Patch

Description

Up for sale tonight are a small group of RARE ORIGINAL Vietnam War era and later USAF patches that belonged to Brig. General Charles “Pete” Winters, the one time Vice Commander and Commander of Area 51.  I acquired these items directly from Gen. Winters.
As can be seen in his attached bio, he trained in F-100 Super Sabers in the early 1960s which is where this patch came from.  During Vietnam, he flew the F-100 out of Phan Rang AFB in Vietnam and then became a test pilot. From 1979-1981, he served as the Vice Commander of the AF Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Detachment 3, in Nevada (AKA “Area 51”) and then served as the Commander of Area 51 from 1981-1983.   As can be seen in his bio, he was later promoted to a Brig. General.
This patch came along with the other patches from General Winters.  I’m not sure if he worked with this unit or if it was given to him in later years.
If you have any questions or need more pics, please let me know.  I’m more than happy to answer any questions or take more pics as needed.
I’m also happy to combine shipping to save you fees.
