Officially Licensed VAQ-131 Lancers Throwback VAH-4 Patch — From Skywarriors to Growlers
Before the Lancers jammed enemy radars in Growlers, Heavy Attack Squadron 4 was delivering nuclear payloads from the deck of a carrier in Skywarriors.
This throwback patch honors the heritage connection between Electronic Attack Squadron 131 (VAQ-131), the Lancers, and their predecessor lineage through Heavy Attack Squadron 4 (VAH-4). VAH-4 flew the massive A-3 Skywarrior — the largest aircraft to regularly operate from carrier decks — during the Cold War era of nuclear deterrence. Today, VAQ-131 carries the Lancer legacy forward from NAS Whidbey Island, flying the EA-18G Growler in the suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) mission. This patch bridges generations of electronic warfare and heavy attack aviation, connecting the brute-force nuclear delivery of the Skywarrior era to the surgical electronic precision of modern Growler operations.
Perfect For: VAQ-131 Lancers alumni, VAH-4 veterans, A-3 Skywarrior enthusiasts, EA-18G Growler crews, and electronic warfare historians.
From heavy attack to electronic assault — the Lancers evolve.
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.
