Official Patron 28 Rangers P-8 Patch - Training Squadron TWO-EIGHT (VT-28) Rangers Official Patron P-8 Poseidon Community Embroidered Patch, Naval Air Station Corpus Christi.
Rangers pride, foundation-builder identity, and the P-8 Poseidon pipeline connection stitched into one official patron piece.
VT-28 Rangers is a U.S. Navy primary flight training squadron based at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, and one of the Navy's most storied training commands. Commissioned on 1 May 1960, the Rangers have built their reputation across more than six decades as the entry point for student naval aviators pursuing fixed-wing careers. The squadron flies the T-6B Texan II and calls itself the Foundation Builders, a title earned by producing thousands of primary graduates who go on to advanced pipelines across every naval aviation community. The Patron 28 designation reflects the long-standing Navy tradition of fleet squadrons formally sponsoring training squadrons, connecting the P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol community directly to the Rangers' primary training pipeline. The P-8A Poseidon, a Boeing 737-based multi-mission aircraft, serves as the Navy's primary maritime patrol and reconnaissance platform, conducting anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions across the globe. This embroidered patch captures that institutional bond between the training command that builds the aviator and the fleet community that receives them, making it a meaningful piece for anyone who has passed through Corpus Christi or gone on to fly the Poseidon.
Perfect For: VT-28 Rangers alumni, student naval aviators, P-8 Poseidon aircrew and veterans, NAS Corpus Christi graduates, naval aviation training command supporters, maritime patrol community collectors, shadow boxes, cruise displays, patch boards, reunion gifts, and anyone who wants a single embroidered piece that honors both the foundation of Navy flight training and the fleet community it feeds. It also suits families and supporters who want a respectful tribute to the instructors, maintainers, and crews who keep the pipeline running from primary wings to deployed maritime patrol operations.
Rangers lineage, P-8 community pride, and the Foundation Builders' tradition in every stitch.
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.
