Officially Licensed US Navy VT-35 Stingrays Squadron Patches — Training Squadron 35 Embroidered Patch
Stingrays — where naval aviators earn their wings.
Training Squadron 35 (VT-35), the "Stingrays," is a United States Navy advanced training squadron based at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. Assigned to Training Air Wing Four under the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), VT-35 provides advanced multi-engine training to student naval aviators and student naval flight officers using the T-6B Texan II and other training platforms. The Stingrays are among the squadrons responsible for producing the Navy's next generation of maritime patrol, transport, and reconnaissance pilots.
The advanced training pipeline at VT-35 is where student aviators transition from basic flight training to the more demanding skills required for multi-engine maritime patrol and transport aircraft operations. Under the instruction of the Stingrays' seasoned instructor pilots, students master instrument flying, multi-engine procedures, formation flight, and the tactical foundations that will prepare them for fleet replacement squadron training in the P-8A Poseidon, E-6B Mercury, C-40A Clipper, and other multi-engine platforms. This officially licensed patch represents the proud tradition of turning students into naval aviators at NAS Corpus Christi.
Perfect For: VT-35 Stingrays instructor pilots and alumni, student naval aviators who trained with the Stingrays, Training Air Wing Four personnel, CNATRA community supporters, NAS Corpus Christi veterans, and military patch collectors who value the training command heritage.
Stingrays produce aviators — wings earned at VT-35.
