Officially Licensed US Navy VP-66 Flying Sixes Patch — Patrol Squadron 66 Flying Sixes P-3 Orion Embroidered Patch
The Flying Sixes — VP-66, rolling the dice on maritime patrol, a Navy Reserve squadron that brought luck and skill to the anti-submarine mission.
Patrol Squadron 66 (VP-66), the "Flying Sixes," was a U.S. Navy Reserve maritime patrol squadron that operated the Lockheed P-3 Orion. The "Flying Sixes" name connects to the dice/gaming theme — sixes being the highest roll on a die, representing VP-66's aspiration to always bring their best game to the maritime patrol mission.
VP-66 conducted anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and maritime domain awareness operations. As a Reserve squadron, VP-66's citizen-sailors maintained tactical proficiency in the complex P-3 Orion mission while balancing civilian careers. The maritime patrol mission demands mastery of acoustic sensor systems, radar operations, electronic surveillance, and tactical coordination — skills that Reserve crews maintained through dedicated training.
VP-66 mobilized and deployed for multiple operations, demonstrating that Reserve patrol squadrons are fully capable combat forces ready to augment the active-duty maritime patrol community whenever needed.
Perfect For: VP-66 Flying Sixes veterans, P-3 Orion community members, Navy Reserve maritime patrol aviators, and Navy heritage squadron patch collectors.
VP-66 Flying Sixes — rolling sixes every time — luck favors the prepared, and the Flying Sixes were always ready.
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.
