Made at NAS Corpus Christi Skid Kids Patch — NAS Corpus Christi Skid Kids Embroidered Patch
Made at NAS Corpus Christi — where skid kids are born.
Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, is where student naval aviators in the rotary-wing pipeline learn to fly helicopters. The "Skid Kids" identity belongs to the pilots and aircrew who choose the skid-equipped helicopter community — flying aircraft like the TH-57 Sea Ranger and eventually the UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper. This patch celebrates the Corpus Christi roots of every skid kid, marking the place where they first learned to hover, autorotate, and fly the aircraft that would define their careers. If you went through flight school at NAS Corpus Christi and came out a helicopter pilot, you're a skid kid for life.
• Embroidered Skid Kids patch with NAS Corpus Christi identity
• Dense stitching with merrowed border for lasting durability
• Hook & loop backing for flight suits, ball caps, and tactical gear
• Vibrant color-fast thread designed for long-lasting wear
• Sharp detail celebrating the Corpus Christi rotary-wing training pipeline
Perfect For: NAS Corpus Christi flight school graduates, helicopter student naval aviators, skid kids across all services, rotary-wing training pipeline alumni, and naval aviation training patch collectors.
Made at Corpus — skid kid for life.
