Officially Licensed Carrier Air Wing CVW-5 Hand Painted Leather Patch — Carrier Air Wing Five Hand-Painted Leather Patch
CVW-5 hand-painted — carrier air wing art on premium leather.
This Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5) hand-painted leather patch is a premium, artisan-quality item that presents the air wing's identity in a style that hearkens back to the golden age of military aviation. Hand-painted leather patches were the original squadron identification items, created by skilled artists who painted unit insignia directly onto leather flight jacket panels.
CVW-5 is the only permanently forward-deployed carrier air wing, stationed at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, and deploying aboard USS George Washington (CVN-73). The air wing's squadrons — VFA-27, VFA-102, VFA-195, VFA-147, VAQ-141, VAW-125, HSC-12, HSM-77, and VRM-30 — represent the full spectrum of naval air power from fighters and electronic attack to airborne early warning and helicopter operations. This hand-painted leather patch captures CVW-5's identity with the artisanal quality that mass-produced patches cannot replicate, making each piece a unique work of military aviation art.
This hand-painted leather patch is CVW-5 artisan quality.
Perfect For: CVW-5 air wing personnel, forward-deployed naval aviators in Japan, hand-painted leather aviation art collectors, and premium military patch enthusiasts.
