"In the early days we didn't have all the fancy "squadron
memorablia" mainly because we were a top secret unit and
maintained a very low profile around the base and Vegas. We
had a 'gold credit card' when it came to getting what we
needed. The pilots all got custom painted helmets (gray, and
later metallic black) from Flight Suits Ltd, and this sort
of started the trend of getting scarves from them. I think
it was much later before we got them from other sources." -

Collector Notes
F-117A scarf use has been simplified on this page. The
4450th Tactical Group scarves were worn through the
first couple of years of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing era
and the 37th TFW scarves were used during the early F-117A
operations at Holloman AFB.
