US Navy VT-35 Plank Owner Patch — Training Squadron 35 Stingrays Embroidered Patch
Plank Owner — VT-35 Stingrays, there from day one.
The VT-35 Plank Owner patch identifies the original members of Training Squadron 35 (VT-35), the "Stingrays" — the personnel who were assigned to the squadron on its commissioning date and earned the prestigious "Plank Owner" designation. In naval tradition, a plank owner is a member of the crew present at the commissioning of a ship or squadron, a distinction that marks them as the founders of a new command's culture, standards, and identity.
VT-35 is part of the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) command structure, training the next generation of naval aviators in the advanced stages of the flight training pipeline at NAS Whiting Field, Florida. Training squadrons are where student naval aviators earn their wings, and the instructors and support personnel who stand up a new training squadron set the tone for every pilot who will pass through its ranks. Being a plank owner of VT-35 means being part of the foundation upon which the Stingrays' reputation is built — a distinction that lasts a career and beyond.
Perfect For:
VT-35 Stingrays plank owners, CNATRA training squadron personnel, NAS Whiting Field aviators, flight training pipeline graduates, and US Navy plank owner patch collectors.
Plank Owner. VT-35 Stingrays. Original crew.
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.
