Posting this while cataloging items into the Museum's collection. I suspect that this patch is for a joint operation, or program, but I've found nothing on it. I also suspect that the aircraft pictured is an F-111. Any one have any info?

Thanks.

well, the big flag is norwegian, and the text reads "nordic wedding" .. otherwise, no idea..
 
Thanks. I suspected that was the meaning of the lower text as searches in text and images let me to Norwegian wedding sites and magazine articles.
 
Apparently for Coronet Kingfisher, part of Exercise Bold Guard in 1978.

And a bit more info on the exercise on this page:

First overseas deployment of the F-111D. As the flag suggests, the deployment was to a base in Norway.
 
No problem.

Google's Reverse Image search is amazingly helpful for this sort of thing.

That has been more miss than hit for me. The link is the result I got in doing a search with the attached image.

"Best guess for this image is: Cobalt Blue" and it took me to a page with color swatches.

By the way. I've yet to identify this one.
