**Official VT-2 Doerbirds Thanksgiving Patch — Navy Training Squadron Embroidered Patch**
VT-2 Doerbirds — the Navy's oldest primary training squadron, serving up a Thanksgiving-themed patch that's as festive as your first solo. If you earned your wings at Whiting Field, this one's for the turkey day you spent in the pattern.
Training Squadron Two (VT-2), the "Doerbirds," was born from Basic Training Group Two and commissioned on May 1, 1960, at Naval Air Station Whiting Field near Milton, Florida. VT-2's mission is to provide primary and intermediate stage flight training to student aviators of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and allied nations. Flying the T-6B Texan II, the Doerbirds graduate approximately 210 students each year, with each student completing roughly 67 hours of instructional flight time covering familiarization, basic instruments, precision aerobatics, formation, and night flying. Since commissioning, VT-2 has logged over 1,800,000 flight hours and trained more than 19,000 students — making it one of the most prolific pilot training programs in naval aviation history.
• Densely embroidered with vibrant synthetic thread for sharp color contrast
• Thanksgiving-themed Doerbirds design with crisp, detailed stitching
• Hook & loop backing for secure, removable attachment
• Built to withstand field conditions — durable and long-lasting
• Full-color festive squadron design
Perfect For: VT-2 veterans and alumni, Doerbirds student naval aviators, NAS Whiting Field personnel, T-6B Texan II enthusiasts, flight school memorabilia collectors, holiday patch enthusiasts
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.
