Lt Col John B. Logan, Commander of the 180th Bombardment Squadron (L), announced a competition in 1949 for a new unit patch insignia. The winning submission was designed by Miss Francine Townsend who won a $50 savings bond for her winning submission.

  • The line through the center represents the 180th since a semi-circle is 180 degrees.
  • The mule represents Missouri.
  • The saddlebags represent the city of Saint Joseph, the home of the Pony Express.
  • The goggles and earphones represent a flying unit.
  • The original insignia had bombs in the saddlebags symbolizing the bombardment mission of the 180th at that time
  • Over the years, the unit patch has been modified as the 180th mission changed.
