The squadron letters are part of the identity. Compare the VF or VFA designation, number, nickname and artwork when choosing a design connected with your aircraft, service period or collection theme.

• Match the aircraft or unit designation and the pictured design.
• Check the listed size, construction and backing on each product.
• Distinguish removable hook-and-loop versions from sew-on or iron-on options.

Aviation heritage

Naval History and Heritage Command distinguishes VF fighter squadrons, VA attack squadrons and VFA strike fighter squadrons. Its history records that the first VFA-designated squadron, VFA-125, was established in November 1980. Reading the letters as well as the number helps place a patch in its proper aviation context.

Find the right addition to your collection

Choose by the details on the individual product page. Construction, dimensions and backing can vary between designs, so a collection category should not be read as a specification shared by every patch. Use the photographs and description together to select the version that suits your display, garment or compatible gear panel.
