351st ARS highlight heritage with patching ceremony at Thorpe Abbotts

Pilots and boom operators from the 351st Air Refueling Squadron show off their newly presented patches after completing mission certification at the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum at Thorpe Abbotts, England, Oct. 14, 2022. Thorpe Abbotts was home to the original 351st Bomb Squadron and 100th Bomb Group during World War II. The “Buzzard” patch is a heritage patch and only those who have completed MCT can wear the patch on Fridays. Two squadron aviation resource management Airmen were also presented a patch after completing their training on a variety of tasks including keeping vital flight records and orders.
