I recently discovered that
there were two variation sets for the TEAM BADGE. I have established that
these were more of a manufacturers variation rather than a team choice.
In this set the text is not as heavy as the original set
and the "NO" is a capital O.

Click here to see the Fouga CM170 Super Magister. This was the aircraft that was flown by Light Strike Squadron and was in service with the Air Corps from 1975 until 1998. In addition to being a jet trainer for student pilots it was also the aircraft that the Silver Swallow display team flew.
This particular aircraft (F218) last flew the 22nd May 1998 and was removed from service three days later.
