History of the Patch

FL-202
Keystone Heights Flight
Version 1


"The patch was originally designed and used by Keystone Heights Flight, a flegling unit that started life in 2002 as part of Gainesville Composite Squadron, Group 2. The unit obtained charter FL-202 from National Headquarters just months later, but its life was short lived and the unit was deactivated in early 2006. Later the same year, attemps were made to reactivate the unit as Keystone-Blanding Composite Squadron."

"The alligator charactor is based on artwork by Colonel Zack Mosley, former Florida Wing commander and artist of the famed Smilin' Jack aviation comic strip. The alligator is from a revission of the original Florida Wing patch which was also designed by Colonel Mosley. However, the wing chose not to adopt the newer, fiercer gator for its own patch."
