"Fighting Fourth" 1955

The patch, a basic circle, has large red "4" on its right side with white, three-dimensional backing. A white contrail, originating from infinity, passes through the center of the "4" and emanates from a pair of silver prop and wings. A light blue starburst sits behind the prop and wings, and a white rectangle with the words "Fightin' Fourth" in black curves across the top of the patch.

"Fightin' Fourth" is the motto of the Fourth Cadet Squadron. The bold printing symbolizes the pride and polished attitude of each squadron member. The prop and wings sysmbolize an upperclass cadet. Gold, blue, silver, and red represent the four class colors at the Air Force Academy.

This original patch is a symbol to all Fourth Squadron graduates of the squadron's winning tradition. The motto "Fightin' Fourth" was given to the squadron in recognition of the squadron's defense of the falcons against mascot thieves at Lowry AFB.

Information gathered for the page from "Squadron Insignia of the United States Air Force Academy" by P. Michael Sheridan, Library of Congress Catalog Number: 90-62369

I retired (medically) in Sep 2006, relocated to Tucson, Arizona to take a position as a senior systems engineer with Raytheon Missile Systems, where I am working flight test and propulsion issues for the Tomahawk missile program.  I know that Marc Moeller (CS-08) is an instructor pilot in the 767, flying VIP transport for the 89th MAW at Andrews AFB, MD.  Ron Craig (CS-07) is a big wig program manager at Lockheed-Martin in Denver, CO.

Enjoying the test pilot business here at Hurlburt Field. I am going to Edwards AFB in summer 2004 to take over the developmental testing of the new CV-22 titlrotor, should be fun. I just returned from an operational 4-month tour with AFSOC in "the desert", was flying Pavelows again. I am getting married in May back in Spokane!  (APR 03)
