Officially Licensed US Navy VR-51 Windjammers Squadron Patch — Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 51 C-40A Clipper Embroidered Patch
The Windjammers — keeping the fleet supplied from the skies over the Pacific.
Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 51 (VR-51), the "Windjammers," operates the Boeing C-40A Clipper out of MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, providing critical airlift and logistics support for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps across the Pacific theater. VR-51 is a Navy Reserve squadron that flies the C-40A — a military variant of the Boeing 737-700C — on cargo, passenger, and priority logistics missions that keep the fleet supplied and connected across the vast distances of the Pacific Ocean.
The Windjammers' mission may lack the glamour of fighter squadrons or the drama of combat search and rescue, but it is every bit as essential. Fleet logistics support squadrons are the lifeline that moves critical parts, personnel, and cargo to forward-deployed units that cannot wait for surface shipping. From Hawaii to Japan, Guam to Diego Garcia, VR-51's crews fly thousands of hours annually ensuring that the right people and the right equipment reach the right place at the right time. The C-40A Clipper's combination of passenger and cargo capability gives the Windjammers the flexibility to reconfigure for any mission — from moving a planeload of sailors to rushing critical aircraft parts to a carrier that needs them yesterday.
Perfect For:
VR-51 Windjammers members and veterans, C-40A Clipper crews, Navy Reserve aviation personnel, fleet logistics support community, MCAS Kaneohe Bay sailors, and US Navy logistics squadron patch collectors.
