98th Air Refueling Squadron, Medium

"Patch features the Woody Woodpecker"" cartoon character created by the Walter Lantz Studios.

NKAWTG = No Kick Ass Without Tanker Gas"This is the KC-97 era version for the 98th AREFS while at Lincoln AFB, Nebraska from 18 Feb 1954-15 Apr 1963. The insignia was approved 11 Aug 1955. The crews came from the 55th AREFS. The squadron insignia came from the 55th AREFS as well. The KB-29M of the 55th were each favored with some nose art design. One in particular was #622 which had a Woody Woodpecker and a gas can as its logo. The aircraft was called the "Big Gas Bird" and "We Change the Range." Lantz Studios refined the emblem for the 98th.
