The patch is royal blue circle with a black border. A white,
brown and black weasel flies two white and black missiles. The
weasel's eyes, mouth and gloves are bright red as is the Arabic
numeral "35" on the left central position of the emblem. Groups
of three and five gold stars are at the top left of the patch.
The aggressive weasel holds a gold thunderbolt in the one gloved
hand and a flight control stick in the other. This patch
continues the theme of its forerunner a tribute to the F-105
pilots who flew Wild Weasel on surface-to-air suppression
missions in Vietnam. The lightning bolt signifies the speed of
the Air Force strike capability. The weasel depicts the
determination and skill of the Air Force aviator. This third
patch for the 35th Squadron was authorized on 29 September 1983,
after approval by General Dynamics Corporation, the manufacturer
of the Missiles.
