Jean-Loup Chretien Personal Patch

Personal patch for Jean-Loup Chretien. The "Postale de Nuit" was created at the end of WW II by Didier Daurat, a famous pilot among others like St. Exupery and Mermoz, who both flew the former Aeropostale between the 2 wars, as well as Daurat. He probably chose that name in remembering of St. Ex. and his famous book "Vol de Nuit". The owl came naturally as the bird who flies and sees in the dark. Flying the Postale is for me a tremendous excitement, as I always feel like these famous pilots are still around us. Payload specialist on STS-86, also Soyuz T-6 and TM-7 to Mir.
