Surprise with the US Air Force Reserve Pipe Band Tartan

[Mark Stephenson]

There is also another option; the original USAF Pipes & Drums (which was disbanded in the early 1970s) wore the "Mitchell" tartan, as I document in my article on the STM web site about the tartans of the USAF.

This post is proof positive of my theory that the USAFR PB tartan has become the de facto USAF tartan, regardless if the wearer was a Regular, Reservist or Air Guardsman.

Todd,
Would you consider writing an article for the Scottish American Military Society (SAMS) quarterly newsletter that gave the history of the "USAF" tartan?
Cheers!
