I'd love to lay out my collection, but with over 700 Hawg patches, I just don't have the room! I would like to post the pics of them on-line somewhere, but most on-line sites are a PITA to load pics to. Does anyone know an easy way to load up a ton of JPGs???

I have all but about two of those, that "Lightning 103rd PA ANG" one is really nice, if you ever decide to trade/sell it, let me know. And just a note, the 81st didn't fly the Hawg when they were a TFS, just as a FS. That "SAM Busters" patch is from their Wild Weasel F-4G days. I am not 100% sure about the 21 TFS patch, they may be the same (flying Hawgs only as a FS, not a TFS).

I still think this forum needs a dedicated patch section!

Cheers! M2

By the way, if you are looking for a great patch collectors web site, try:

www.USAFpatches.com

Cheers! M2

Have you tried Photobucket.com or Imagedump.com ? They are both free, but I don't recall how much space you get. I have an account with the first one, no problems.

I was using a PhotoBucket account, but then it got hosed up and trying to start again from scratch is too much of a hassle. I would have to load up each pic individually, and I don't have time to do that for 700+ pics. I was thinking about creating a web site from one of those free hosts (such as MySpace) but I haven't gotten around to finding out which one is the easiest to use. I am no web guru...

Cheers! M2

Same here! I think i'm approaching 800 now. let me know what you find out on hosting madmax.
I'm currently at Nellis and may have a hook up on the new OT pencil pocket tab patches!! They look pretty sweet. I gotta go over there this week and get with the snack-o. I'll hook you up if i can!

if you guys were to take a pics of a bunch at a time, like i did, id be happy to host them for ya. just send the pics to me (email above) and i'll do it.

700-800 little pics would get mind boggling!

OK Bryan, I am willing to give it a try. I just emailed you pics of my first 100 patches, it is just under 10 MB but I sent the smaller images as the full sized ones would have been over 25 MB. If you want to try hosting them, feel free. Let me know if this works, and I can send you the rest in batches of 100. Otherwise I could just mail you a CD-ROM with all the pics!

Cheers! M2

okay,

i got the first 100 and i up'd them to photobucket, if i hosted them, i would run out of space, so i'll be a middleman and do it for ya. here they are so far:

you can send the next 100 and i'll email you when im ready for the next bunch

Dude, you must have some spare time on your hands! I just emailed the second batch, let me know when you want the third...

Cheers! M2

Nice patches...did the 22 TASTS fly Hogs? I thought they flew OV-10s.

Unlike some collectors, I am not necessarily too hardcore in the A-10 connection with all of my patches. There are some that are for units "connected" to the Hawg and not exactly flying it themselves. I believe the 22 TASTS fell into this category, at least according to the guy who sent me the patches. I would expect that is through their TACP mission. Might be a stretch, but there are probably a few more in my collection whose "connection" gets even looser!

Cheers! M2

Skuz9c1, I tried to mail you a (old) photo of mine collection. But I received that back. I will try later this weekend. The collection is now a little bit bigger, but I have to make a new photo.
And that photobucket, it looks good.

Updated!

Dutchy: how big is the file you were trying to send? above, 30 MB may be too much, plus, did you send to: Skuz9c1@comcast.net

takes me about 40 min from opening the email to finish posting the pics. if majormadmax could zip the folders like i asked him to do in my email, i could do it in half the time

_________________

Sorry man, never got the email. I will compress the next batch, I thought the email compression would work better but we'll see with the next round...

Cheers! M2

Not sure if I am screwing this up or not, but I zipped the next 100 patch images and the resulting folder was 27MB large. The last email I sent was only 10MB. Are you sure you still want them compressed, or is there some other way of doing this?

Cheers! M2

Bryan

Your email just arrived, let me know if you can handle a 27MB zip folder and I will send it to you...

Cheers! M2

yes, i should be able to accept 27 MBS
