Bear Aces go green for St. Patrick's Day.
This VAW-124 "Bear Aces" St. Patrick's Day patch celebrates the Irish holiday with a festive green-themed design featuring the squadron's iconic Bear Ace mascot. VAW-124 operates the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye from NAS Norfolk, Virginia, as part of Carrier Air Wing 8 (CVW-8), and this holiday patch adds seasonal cheer to the squadron's operational identity.
VAW-124's Bear Aces provide the carrier strike group with airborne early warning and battle management, using the E-2D's AN/APY-9 radar to detect and track threats hundreds of miles away. The St. Patrick's Day edition brings the luck of the Irish to the Bear Aces, whose E-2D crews work long hours managing the air battle from their orbits high above the carrier strike group. Holiday patches are beloved in the naval aviation community because they humanize the demanding operational lifestyle with moments of levity and celebration. This St. Patrick's Day variant is a limited-production collectible that captures a specific moment in Bear Aces squadron culture.
This holiday patch brings Irish luck to the Bear Aces.
Perfect For: VAW-124 Bear Aces personnel, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye crews, St. Patrick's Day military patch collectors, and holiday aviation morale patch enthusiasts.
