In days long ago, for scenarios seen now through the mists of time, we once created embroidered patches for each one.

To commemorate the fire and valor of our scenario pilots.

To commemorate our glorious battles, long remembered.

To bring to thought, in conversations with beloved comrades and noble foes of the past:  "I was there."

We will make patches once again for Masters of the Air.

To do this, we ask players to make designs.  And we ask players to vote and to pick which they like best from among those candidates.

Then I get them made, mail them out to all scenario participants who want one, and ask for donations to defray cost.  I will do this again.

Here, my friends, are examples of patches from those days gone by, to inspire your creations.

Players, please here submit your suggestions for patches.

Suggestions are graphical mock ups you make, so that folks can see what you have in mind.

Way cool!  :salute
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I had thought about patches but knowing all the work you’ve been putting into this I didn’t want to add to it. I’ll throw a $20 in the fund raising bin.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

This is very cool Brooke!

I can't contribute anything as I don't have any creativity whatsoever. I will gladly contribute monetarily however.

I guess I could draw up something but I think stick figures and airplanes drawn with the skill of an average 4th-grader wouldn't make the cut. I've seen some of these other dudes in here do some cool stuff though.

Excellent idea Brooke.

To save time, an AI art generator with the right keywords might just make a nice patch.

I've tried some AI graphics programs.

The problem I run into is that the ones I use don't do well on more-precise descriptions, especially including things like aircraft.
