Does anyone know where I can find a pattern for the unit badge on the tail of Ed Shipley's '47-1461'?

I did this ages ago and just came across it; it's still a WIP for the AS Sabre.

I don't know about tail badge, but the badge on the nose is Air Training Command. It's pure fiction as far as I know- I don't think ATC ever had any Sabres. I think either this airplane or one similarly painted had an AT&T logo on the tail for a while.

Thanks Railrunner130. I have a feeling the tail badge is from one of Ed Shipley's old units; the whole scheme is fiction but rather attractive nonetheless!

Problem solved. The tail 'badge' is also fictional but is representative of Frank Borman's time with the Fighter Weapons School out of Nellis. Found a decent pattern from Flickr.
