Official VR-61 Islanders C-40 Clipper Shoulder Patch — Island Hopping with the Fleet's Favorite Airlines
Because somebody has to fly the important stuff — and VR-61 does it with style.
VR-61, the Islanders, is a Navy Fleet Logistics Support Squadron operating the C-40A Clipper out of NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. As a Reserve squadron, the Islanders provide critical logistics airlift, transporting high-priority cargo and passengers across the Pacific and beyond in support of fleet operations worldwide. The C-40A — the military variant of the Boeing 737-700C — brings commercial airliner reliability to military mission requirements, and VR-61's crews keep the supply chain moving whether it's peacetime sustainment or surge operations. This shoulder patch represents the quiet professionals who make sure the right people and the right parts get to the right place.
Perfect For: VR-61 aircrew and maintainers, C-40 Clipper drivers, Navy Reserve logistics aviators, and anyone who knows that without logistics, the fleet doesn't fight.
No glory, no gun runs — just on-time delivery, every time.
