[edit] Patch Heraldry
(Taken from www.usafa.af.mil, which in turn was compiled from P. Michael Sheridan, Squadron Insignia of the United States Air Force Academy)
The patch, bordered in dark green and white, is an emerald green with an aircraft and its contrails are in the center. The dark red inscription "Roadrunners" is at the top. The Roadrunners, a cartoon character, and the bright orange numeral "32" dominate the field. The squadron motto, "Catch Us If You Can," is on the bottom of the patch. The Roadrunner represents the speed and craftiness, as he always cleverly evades numerous encounters with the infamous coyote. Consistent with the idea of speed and craft is the jet plane soaring to the top of the patch, symbolizing flight and the aspirations of new careers.
