Official Flock Walk 1000 Hour Patch — Training Air Wing Four Flock Walk 1000 Flight Hours Embroidered Patch
Flock Walk — 1,000 hours in the training command and counting.
The "Flock Walk" 1000 Hour patch commemorates a significant flight hours milestone within Training Air Wing Four at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. Under the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), Training Air Wing Four oversees multiple training squadrons including VT-27, VT-28, VT-31, and VT-35, all operating the T-6B Texan II in primary and intermediate flight training. The "Flock Walk" identity represents the collective community of instructor pilots, student aviators, and support personnel who make up the training wing.
Reaching 1,000 flight hours is a major milestone in any aviator's career, and in the training command, those hours represent hundreds of training sorties, countless student hops, instrument flights, solo supervisions, and the day-in, day-out grind of producing the next generation of naval aviators. Flock Walk 1000 Hour patches recognize the instructor pilots and check airmen who have dedicated years of their career to the training mission, turning students into pilots while accumulating the flight time that reflects their enormous contribution to naval aviation's future.
Perfect For: Training Air Wing Four instructor pilots, VT-27, VT-28, VT-31, and VT-35 personnel, CNATRA flight hour milestone achievers, T-6B Texan II community members, NAS Corpus Christi aviators, and flight hours patch collectors.
Flock Walk strong — 1,000 hours in the training command.
