Official VFA-41 Black Aces F/A-18F Tail Flash Patch — Strike Fighter Squadron 41 Super Hornet Tail Flash Embroidered Patch
Black Aces on the tail — VFA-41's F/A-18F Super Hornet tail flash.
Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (VFA-41), the "Black Aces," is a United States Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet squadron based at NAS Lemoore, California. Assigned to Carrier Air Wing Nine (CVW-9), the Black Aces are one of the Navy's premier two-seat strike fighter squadrons, conducting air superiority, strike warfare, close air support, and forward air controller (airborne) missions from aircraft carriers deployed worldwide. This tail flash patch replicates the distinctive markings found on VFA-41's Super Hornet vertical stabilizers.
Tail flash patches are among the most coveted items in military aviation patch collecting, capturing the unique identity that each squadron paints on its aircraft's tail. The Black Aces' "Dealer" tail code and distinctive ace-of-spades markings are instantly recognizable on the flight deck and in the air. VFA-41 has a distinguished combat record spanning multiple deployments to the Western Pacific, Persian Gulf, and other theaters of operations, with the F/A-18F Super Hornet providing the Black Aces with unmatched versatility as both an air-to-air fighter and a precision strike platform.
Perfect For: VFA-41 Black Aces active-duty members and veterans, F/A-18F Super Hornet enthusiasts, CVW-9 alumni, NAS Lemoore personnel, tail flash patch collectors, and anyone who appreciates the distinctive markings of Navy strike fighter squadrons.

If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
