Official HT-28 Hellions 4th of July America 250th Anniversary Squadron Patch and Name Tag - Helicopter Training Squadron 28 (HT-28) Hellions commemorative embroidered patch and name tag set honoring America's 250th Independence Day anniversary.
Lucky callsign, Professionalism, Integrity, and Judgment — the Hellions train the next generation of rotary-wing aviators and mark a once-in-250-years national milestone in a single set.
HT-28 is a United States Navy helicopter training squadron based at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida, and one of three advanced helicopter training squadrons producing Wings of Gold graduates for the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and allied nations. Flying the TH-73A Thrasher under Training Air Wing Five, the Hellions transition student aviators through the full rotary-wing syllabus, including a condensed track for prospective MV-22 Osprey pilots. The squadron's patch carries a black Chinese Loong dragon coiled around a lighted torch, symbolizing wisdom passed from one generation of aviators to the next, with a tri-color field of deep blue, olive green, and red representing the Navy, Marine Corps, and a shared heritage of valor. This commemorative set pairs that enduring unit identity with the 4th of July 2026 milestone, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, making it a time-stamped piece that connects active military training heritage with a defining moment in American history. The name tag component adds a personal dimension that standard squadron patches rarely carry, giving the set added meaning for graduates, instructors, and families who want to mark both the unit and the occasion.
Perfect For: HT-28 Hellions graduates and student naval aviators, NAS Whiting Field alumni, Navy and Marine Corps rotary-wing veterans, TH-73A Thrasher crew members, Training Air Wing Five supporters, Wings of Gold recipients, military families marking the America 250 celebration, Independence Day collectors, shadow box builders, challenge coin and patch panel displays, and anyone who wants a verified squadron piece tied to both active training heritage and the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Hellions heritage, Wings of Gold pride, and 250 years of American independence — stitched into one set worth keeping.
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.
