Embroidered SR-71 Blackbird \"Sled Driver\" patch from 2003, the Centennial of Flight.
This is the patch issued with the 2003 Centennial of Flight signed limited edition of Brian Shul\'s book Sled Driver: Flying the World\'s Fastest Jet (Gallery One). That edition was signed by Shul, his back-seater Walt Watson, Bob Gilliland (the first pilot to fly the SR-71) and Ed Yeilding (who flew its final speed-record flight).
Design: SR-71 above the 1903 Wright Flyer, \"From First to Fastest,\" 1903-2003, \"Centennial of Flight,\" \"Limited Edition\" side tabs and a \"Sled Driver\" bottom tab.
Patch only. No book, box or certificate, and the patch is not signed. This is a commemorative patch, not military issue.
From a USAF veteran\'s personal collection. Ships flat in a rigid mailer.
