Obviously I noticed your wings before, but I just got your username. Like it
I stole it from my dad. He had it on his flight suit and flight jacket patches and so did I.

Cool vid. Maybe a cheesy bromance biopic, but it's a good look at the life for those of us on the outside.
I'd still give up a testicle for a week as Viper driver.

I think you can strike a better deal.

Who am I? Where are my pants?
That would be a terrible deal, IMHO.

Well, considering most of them give up both testicles to be in the program it seemed like a fair discount, maybe.
ARMY, HOOAH!
Seriously though. Mad jealous of the tactical fighter kids.

Not F-16s, buuut.
"It was kind of a fluke," [71st Flying Training Wing Public Affairs] Barger said in an email."During a slide show presentation while previewing the different patch options, the student presenter threw the ‘My Little Pilot’ patch design into the mix as an ironic joke. That patch made it all the way through the approval process and is even more ironic since the class never really wanted it in the first place. They thought it was so off the wall that it was hilarious. They have embraced the irony and humor of the patch and in so doing have fostered closer ties with each other."
"Ironic" … they could have had flames and boobs and double entendres.

Oh my god grunt low self-esteem... get out
Yeah yeah. Don't make us all come over to eat at your DFAC at once. You know we'll do it.
I would force them to wear it. Both shoulders, and both sides of the front of the flightsuit.

Like i said earlier...
I'd jump naked in tar, roll in feathers, glue all the pink pathches all over me and wear a pink helmet for a ride in the 16... any takes?

I think you guys seriously overestimate how fun a ride in a Viper would be. Fun airplane, but certainly not worth losing a testicle or wearing humiliating attire.
Now...a ride in a Strike Eagle. Different story. hehe
Here's some video I took on one of my Viper flights back about 2005. My T-38 sq was flying adversary support for the FTU at Luke:
