Official VT-9 Tigers Instructor Pilot Patch — Teaching Future Aviators the Tiger Way
The Tigers' instructor pilots don't just fly — they forge the next generation of naval aviators.
Training Squadron 9, the Tigers, provide flight training to student naval aviators, building the foundational skills that every Navy and Marine Corps pilot needs to succeed in the fleet. This instructor pilot patch recognizes the experienced aviators within VT-9 who serve as mentors, teachers, and evaluators, guiding students through the demanding training syllabus. Instructor pilots in the training command carry the responsibility of shaping raw talent into combat-ready aviators — a mission that requires patience, expertise, and unwavering standards.
Perfect For: VT-9 instructor pilots, training command veterans, Tigers alumni, and military instructor patch collectors.
The Tigers' IPs teach the way they fly — with precision, standards, and zero tolerance for shortcuts.
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.
