CAP Emergency Services Patch

[coastguard69]

Which do you prefer: the Goofy Dog, the Small Plane, or the Large Plane? I'm just wondering what people think, and please include why you think that way.

[SJFedor]

For the BDU's? None.

It's a uniform blouse, not a boy scout patch-sash thing.

[SAREXinNY]

I wear the dog patch, only because everyone else in my squadron wears that one.  Personally, I'm not a fan of any of them.  None really look like they "fit" very well with the uniform.

[Eclipse]

None. It's not a NASCAR firesuit.

And there's only two currently approved, so not sure about the "small plane / large plane" comment.

[coastguard69]

there are 2 different sizes of the airplane ES patch, one is substantionally larger than the other

No, there are not.

and this:

Are the only two currently approved for wear.

i've seen the two plane patches next to eachother and they are different sizes.

[Luis R. Ramos]

i never noticed any difference in the plane size, and I have twelve years in CAP!

In any event, CAP/NHQ only mentions one. For that matter, Vanguard only sells one size of airplane, so asking this question is like asking what shade of blue you prefer on a Find ribbon, or whether you prefer one shade of green over another for a Unit Citation ribbon...

I don't worry about since I don't wear any patches that are not required. Period...

I've got 14 years in and have only seen one size of the T-34 patch.  Unless you've got photos, no idea what you are talking about.

Members do a lot of things, including making their own patches, not to mention we used to have an unauthorized vendor who played
fairly loose with specs on sizes and color, so who knows. 

What is shown above is the only one authorized. 

[SAREXinNY]

CAP Manual 39-1, Chapter 6, Section B, Page 22:

Only 2 patches are currently authorized.

[a2capt]

The current T-34 is a remake, the other one has a bit more rectangular, less oval look, and is a little bigger.  I'm not interested in any of them.

As I stated, and Eclipse states, for all intents and purposes there has been only one airplane patch authorized.

As A2 states, the current one is a remake of the older one. However this thread is like stating "there are two versions of the Unit Citation Ribbon" when two slightly different shades of green appear in the manufacture.

Those slight manufacturing differences are not enough, in my opinion, to say "there are two."

And although I wear both patches in my BDUs, I prefer the airplane.

thank you for finally actually answering the question

[Eclipse]

Someone should be more concerned about Hoover's earrings then his T-34 patch.

[Luis R. Ramos]

These photos are not good proof.

Cannot be assessed whether those guys placed the insignia correctly centered. Make a  photo of both insignias side by side. That is the only way you can prove whether they are, indeed, different in size.

As stated, I had an old insignia, then when they came out with the new airplane remake, I could not distinguish any difference. Except probably in feel. As one felt smoother, because it was worn and been washed with the uniform, and the other felt stiffer as it was newer and not worn.

he does not have earrings, it is the glare from the very bright sun in oshkosh

also if you cannot see a definite size difference, then you're not looking closely at all

Those are very clearly earrings. 

As to the size difference, we've already explained that it is likely an anomaly of he vendor, not a distinction
as to one or the other.

[Luis R. Ramos]

His last post seems to point that he has had too much sun in his CAP career.
