Officially Licensed VT-86 Sabrehawks Leather Patch — Earning Wings at the Birthplace of Naval Aviation
The Sabrehawks have been turning students into naval aviators at NAS Pensacola since the training command needed them most.
Training Squadron 86, the Sabrehawks, operates out of NAS Pensacola, the birthplace of naval aviation, providing advanced training to student naval flight officers. VT-86 plays a critical role in the training pipeline, equipping future weapon systems officers and naval flight officers with the skills they need to operate in fleet tactical aircraft. This leather patch brings a classic aviator finish to the training command, honoring the squadron that shapes the backseaters who will fill cockpits across the Navy and Marine Corps.
Perfect For: VT-86 graduates, student naval flight officers, Pensacola training command alumni, and leather aviation patch collectors.
Every NFO in the fleet started with the Sabrehawks — leather-bound and mission-ready.
