I'm a big fan of collecting flown items, specially flown flags and patches. Since there is a wide variety of presentations and awards it would be nice to have a thread with pictures and info of flown flags and patches (presentations), similar to the one about coins minted with flown or historical metal.We can include any information we have: mission(s), inscription, days flown in space, rarity, or special attributes. |

Very interesting collection. I am Italian and of course could not miss the first Italian (I've two) flag brought into space by an Italian astronaut: Malerba (STS-46). I also have one mission flag Then I have two framed autographed by the crew of STS-75 (my friend Guidoni, and Cheli, great test pilot) flown the two patches were donated to Stuckey, then I bought them myself. I wish I had an Italian flag Apollo era, but the cost is prohibited! | |
