Officially Licensed VX-9 Vampires China Lake Squadron Sticker — Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 9 Vampires Vinyl Sticker
The Vampires at China Lake — VX-9 in vinyl sticker form, representing the Navy's premier test and evaluation squadron at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake.
This vinyl sticker features Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 9 (VX-9), the "Vampires," based at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, California. VX-9 is the Navy's primary operational test and evaluation squadron for strike fighter aircraft, electronic attack platforms, and their associated weapons systems. The Vampires operate the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, F-35C Lightning II, and other aircraft as needed to conduct the testing that determines whether new weapons and systems are ready for the fleet.
China Lake's vast desert test range — over 1.1 million acres of restricted airspace and instrumented test facilities — provides VX-9 with the ideal environment for weapons testing, tactics development, and operational evaluation. The sticker format allows VX-9 members, alumni, and supporters to display their connection to the Vampires and China Lake on any surface.
VX-9's work is essential to the Navy's combat capability — every new missile, bomb, sensor pod, and software update that reaches the fleet has been tested and validated by the Vampires before it goes operational.
Perfect For: VX-9 Vampires members and veterans, NAWS China Lake personnel, Navy test and evaluation professionals, weapons development community, and naval aviation sticker collectors.
VX-9 Vampires China Lake — stick it on everything, because the Vampires test everything the fleet needs to fight.
