Pelican Lounge 1000 Hour Patch — Embroidered Patch
The Pelican Lounge — 1000 Hours in the Pattern
One thousand hours of flight time at NAS Corpus Christi — that's a lot of time in the T-6 Texan II over the Texas coastline. The Pelican Lounge 1000 Hour patch is a badge of honor for the instructors and student pilots who have logged serious time at one of Naval Aviation's premier training bases.
NAS Corpus Christi, Texas, is home to multiple training squadrons that produce the next generation of Naval Aviators. The Pelican Lounge represents the social and professional culture of the base's training wing community. Earning a 1000 Hour patch at Corpus means you've spent countless hours teaching the fundamentals of flight in the T-6B Texan II and T-45 Goshawk, watching students grow from uncertain beginners to confident aviators ready for the fleet. It's a milestone that represents dedication to the craft of teaching others to fly.
Perfect For:
NAS Corpus Christi flight instructors, T-6 and T-45 training squadron personnel, Naval Aviation training community, flight hour milestone collectors, and training command heritage enthusiasts.
1000 Hours — The Pelican Lounge.
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.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
