3.5" patch, with hook & loop.   This is a reproduction of the original, which was created 30+ years ago. It's 3.25", slightly larger than the original. Here is the story of this patch: The BP Air Ops patches we designed in San Diego about 30+ years ago. The Pilots just wore them on Non-uniform jackets, hats, etc. The BP was extremely strict about wearing anything on a uniform (The BP considered flight suits a uniform as it had a regulation BP patch on it).... The "running illegal alien/Mexican" as that patch was called was the first and original patch made. The pilot who had been the lead in the design ordered patches, T-shirts (big patch on back), etc....He later had OPR (office of professional responsibility--head hunters)) come to him & order him to quit selling the patches, t-shirts, etc. as it was derogatory to Mexicans/Illegal aliens.....they also ordered him to give up the names of everyone he sold the patches & t-shirts to... WELL, this pilot was shrewd as ever...
