The 18th SOS “DaNang Scorpion” formal tie is 100% polyester, created by K. Alexander. It is black with embroidered DaNang Scorpion logo in red. Fit for any formal outing.
The original logo was painted by Sgt. Tom Graham. An account given by Sgt. Graham says the logo was first on the flight line which was requested by Doug Metcalf or the first sergeant. This was done late 1970 or early 1971. After a month, he was requested to paint a second logo at the “OPS’ building on “Gunfighter Row.” This was requested by the Squadron Commander.
2″ hat pin is shaped like the 18th Special Operation Squadron patch and is a copy of the Stinger hat pin. It is a little thicker metal. Very nice pin to show your Stinger Pride on a jacket, vest or hat.
This print was hand drawn with pen and ink by Bill Petrie. It is a black and white 8″ x 10″ drawing of the AC-119K in flight. Taken from the “Brothers” print.
