Official VMT-22 Golden Eagles Squadron Patch - Training Squadron Twenty-Two (VT-22) Golden Eagles, Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas, T-45C Goshawk Strike Jet Training Embroidered Patch.
Golden Eagles pride, Kingsville flight-line energy, and the shared Navy and Marine Corps identity of advanced strike jet training in one embroidered piece.
Training Squadron Twenty-Two has carried the Golden Eagles name since its earliest days, tracing its lineage to June 13, 1949, when it was established at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi as the first unit in the training command to instruct aviators in jet aircraft. The squadron moved to its permanent home at NAS Kingsville, Texas, in 1951 and was formally redesignated VT-22 in 1960. Today the Golden Eagles fly the T-45C Goshawk under Training Air Wing Two, conducting intermediate and advanced flight training for Navy and Marine Corps student military aviators. The syllabus covers basic instruments, aircraft familiarization, formation flying, carrier qualification, and basic fighter maneuvering, with instructor pilots drawn from both services bringing fleet experience directly into the training environment. VT-22 is one of only four advanced strike training squadrons in the Navy, and its graduates earn their Wings of Gold before moving on to fleet replacement squadrons across the naval aviation community. That pipeline history, combined with the Golden Eagles callsign and the Kingsville legacy, gives this embroidered patch a specific and well-documented place in the story of how the Navy and Marine Corps build their strike aviators.
Perfect For: Navy and Marine Corps aviation veterans, VT-22 Golden Eagles alumni, T-45 Goshawk aircrew, NAS Kingsville graduates, Training Air Wing Two supporters, student naval aviator keepsakes, Wings of Gold milestone gifts, flight instructor memorabilia, shadow boxes, cruise book displays, patch boards, and collectors building a complete naval aviation training pipeline collection. It is especially meaningful for Marine Corps aviators who earned their wings through the Kingsville strike syllabus and want a patch that honors the joint training environment where their career began.
Golden Eagles heritage, stitched for the aviators who earned their wings at Kingsville.
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.
