Officially Licensed US Navy VT-2 Doerbirds PVC Patch — Training Squadron 2 NAS Whiting Field T-6B Texan II Embroidered PVC Patch
The Whiting Field primary pipeline starts here — VT-2 Doerbirds, T-6B Texan IIs.
Training Squadron 2 (VT-2), the "Doerbirds," is a US Navy primary flight training squadron based at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, near Milton, Florida, operating under Training Air Wing FIVE (CTW-5) and the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA). The squadron was established on May 1, 1960 at NAS Whiting Field and has since provided primary flight training to selected student aviators of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and several allied nations. VT-2 currently operates the Beechcraft T-6B Texan II, taking each student through approximately 75 hours of instructional flight time supplemented by 50 hours in the 2F208B flight simulator across the contact, precision aerobatics, radio instruments, formation, and day-and-night navigation phases that build the foundational airmanship every Naval Aviator carries forward into their fleet pipeline. The squadron is staffed by approximately 80 Naval Officer Instructor Pilots and 11 civilian personnel, produces approximately 250 winged aviators each year, has logged nearly 1,745 flight hours per month, and has trained more than 24,000 student naval aviators since commissioning. Upon completion of VT-2 primary, students progress to follow-on training in the helicopter, multi-engine, or tail-hook (jet) pipelines at Whiting Field, NAS Corpus Christi, NAS Kingsville, or NAS Pensacola. This PVC patch represents the squadron that gets the Naval Aviator pipeline started.
Perfect For: VT-2 Doerbirds instructor pilots and student naval aviators, NAS Whiting Field residents and Milton/Pensacola naval aviation community, Training Air Wing FIVE (CTW-5) personnel, CNATRA staff, T-6B Texan II pilots and maintainers, partner-nation student aviators trained at Whiting, and Naval Aviator primary pipeline alumni.

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.
