Officially Licensed US Navy VA-87 Golden Warriors Squadron Patch — Attack Squadron 87 Golden Warriors Embroidered Patch
The Golden Warriors — VA-87, carrying the fight with the A-7 Corsair II, a Navy attack squadron that earned its gold through combat excellence.
Attack Squadron 87 (VA-87), the "Golden Warriors," was a U.S. Navy carrier-based attack squadron that operated the Vought A-7 Corsair II. The Golden Warriors were part of the Navy's formidable medium attack community, deploying aboard aircraft carriers to provide the fleet with precision strike capability against surface targets, enemy installations, and ground forces in support of American interests worldwide.
The A-7 Corsair II was a single-seat, subsonic light attack aircraft that represented a significant leap forward in weapons delivery accuracy over its predecessor, the A-4 Skyhawk. The Corsair's AN/ASN-91 digital navigation and weapons delivery computer allowed VA-87's pilots to place bombs on target with unprecedented precision, day or night, in virtually any weather condition. The A-7 also brought increased range and payload capacity to the attack mission, allowing the Golden Warriors to strike deeper into enemy territory with heavier ordnance loads.
VA-87 served during the height of the Cold War, when the Navy maintained a large fleet of carrier-based attack squadrons ready to respond to crises anywhere in the world. The Golden Warriors' combat readiness and professionalism were essential to the Navy's ability to project power from the sea — their Corsairs stood ready on carrier flight decks from the Mediterranean to the Western Pacific, loaded and fueled, waiting for the signal to launch.
Perfect For: VA-87 Golden Warriors veterans, A-7 Corsair II pilots and maintainers, Cold War-era naval aviators, carrier attack aviation enthusiasts, and Navy heritage squadron patch collectors.
VA-87 Golden Warriors — gold-standard attack aviation, delivering precision ordnance from the carrier deck to the target.
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.
