Officially Licensed US Navy VT-35 Stingrays squadron challenge coin featuring the T-54A Marlin II.
VT-35 Stingrays — advanced multi-engine training in the new T-54A Marlin II, on a coin.
Training Squadron 35 (VT-35), the "Stingrays," is the U.S. Navy's advanced multi-engine maritime training squadron based at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas, under Training Air Wing FOUR (TW-4). VT-35 trains the Student Naval Aviators destined for the maritime patrol (P-8A Poseidon), C-130 / KC-130, E-6B Mercury, and E-2/C-2/EC-2/E-2D Advanced Hawkeye communities — the multi-engine pipeline graduates who go on to fly the Navy's largest manned aircraft. The squadron transitioned to the new Beechcraft T-54A Marlin II — a militarized variant of the King Air 260 — as its primary advanced multi-engine training platform, replacing the long-serving T-44C Pegasus. The T-54A brings glass-cockpit avionics, modern instrument procedures training, and FAA Part 23 commercial reliability to the multi-engine syllabus. This challenge coin features the T-54A Marlin II on the obverse and the VT-35 Stingrays squadron heraldry on the reverse — a heavy, struck-metal coin with the heft, edge, and finish that define a real fleet-quality challenge coin, perfect for handing off after a milestone solo, a winging ceremony, or a final flight. Made for a coin check, made for a shadow box.
Perfect For: VT-35 Stingrays Student Naval Aviators and instructor pilots, T-54A Marlin II pilots and maintainers, T-44C Pegasus heritage trainers, TW-4 NAS Corpus Christi personnel, multi-engine pipeline winging ceremony attendees, P-8 / C-130 / E-6 / E-2 community future operators, and Naval Air Training Command challenge coin collectors.
VT-35 Stingrays coin — T-54A Marlin II, multi-engine, ready for the coin check.
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.
