VT-31 Wise Owls E-2 Hawkeye Shad Wagoneers Shoulder Patch — US Navy Training Squadron Embroidered Patch
The Shad Wagoneers — where future Hawkeye crews learn to run the show.
Training Squadron 31 (VT-31), the "Wise Owls," is the U.S. Navy's advanced multi-engine training squadron based at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas, under Training Air Wing Four. VT-31 trains student naval aviators in the T-44C Pegasus, preparing them for fleet assignment to multi-engine and turboprop aircraft including the E-2 Hawkeye, C-2 Greyhound, and P-3/P-8 maritime patrol platforms. The "Shad Wagoneers" nickname is an internal callsign within the Hawkeye pipeline — a nod to the E-2 community's culture and the unique mission of airborne early warning and battle management. Graduates of the Hawkeye track go on to VAW squadrons, where they become the tactical heart of the carrier air wing.
Perfect For:
VT-31 Wise Owls alumni and current students, E-2 Hawkeye pipeline aviators, VAW squadron personnel, NAS Corpus Christi training wing members, and Navy aviation patch collectors.
Wise Owls. Shad Wagoneers. Pipeline to the fleet.
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.
