Officially Licensed US Navy VT-27 Boomers Squadron Patch — Training Squadron 27 Embroidered Patch

Boomers — where the boom of naval aviation begins at VT-27.

Training Squadron 27 (VT-27), the "Boomers," is a United States Navy primary flight training squadron based at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. Operating under the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), the Boomers fly the T-6B Texan II turboprop trainer and are responsible for one of the most critical phases of naval aviation training — teaching student naval aviators the fundamental skills of military flying. VT-27's instructor pilots take students from their earliest solo flights through the basic skills that will form the foundation of their entire aviation career.

The primary training phase at VT-27 is where students learn to fly military aircraft for the first time, mastering basic airmanship, navigation, formation flying, and instrument procedures under the guidance of the Boomers' experienced instructor pilots. Graduates of VT-27 move on to advanced training in the pipeline appropriate for their selected aircraft — jets, multi-engine, or rotary-wing. The T-6B Texan II is a state-of-the-art turboprop trainer with a glass cockpit that provides students with modern avionics experience from day one. This officially licensed patch represents the proud tradition of producing tomorrow's naval aviators.

Perfect For: VT-27 Boomers instructor pilots and alumni, student naval aviators who trained with VT-27, T-6B Texan II enthusiasts, CNATRA community supporters, NAS Corpus Christi personnel, and military training command patch collectors.

Boomers train the best — VT-27 launches careers.
