You'll most likely need to create two paths, and use text on a path for each: one for the left (i.e. 492nd Special Op) and one for the right (i.e. erations Wing) as that angle isn't likely to work well with a single path. As Monika pointed out, you may also need to tweak the results with a couple of warps or envelopes, too.
