Official VT-35 Stingrays Advanced Multi-Engine PVC Tan Patch — Training Squadron 35 NAS Corpus Christi T-44C Pegasus / T-54A Marlin II Tan Subdued Embroidered Patch
First squadron to fly the T-54A — VT-35 Stingrays, advanced multi-engine, NAS Corpus Christi.
Training Squadron 35 (VT-35), the "Stingrays," is a US Navy advanced multi-engine training squadron based at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, operating under Training Air Wing FOUR (CTW-4) and the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA). VT-35 was established on October 29, 1999 at NAS Corpus Christi, initially flying the Beechcraft TC-12B Huron — the militarized King Air 200 variant — to provide intermediate and advanced multi-engine training for student naval aviators selected for the maritime patrol, carrier turboprop, and tilt-rotor pipelines. After 18 years flying the TC-12B, on May 16, 2017 the squadron retired the Huron and transitioned to the Beechcraft T-44C Pegasus — the King Air 90-based twin-engine turboprop trainer that has been the Navy's primary multi-engine trainer since 1977. More recently and historically, on June 19, 2025 VT-35 became the first squadron in the United States Navy to begin flying the new Beechcraft T-54A Marlin II — the King Air 260-based Multi-Engine Training System (METS) replacement for the T-44C — placing the Stingrays at the leading edge of the Navy's largest training-aircraft modernization in nearly five decades. VT-35's graduates feed the P-8A Poseidon, E-2D Hawkeye, E-6 Mercury, C-130 Hercules, MV-22B Osprey, and CMV-22B Osprey communities. This tan PVC variant patch is a subdued, low-visibility version for use on flight gear and tactical uniforms.
Perfect For: VT-35 Stingrays instructor pilots and student naval aviators, NAS Corpus Christi residents and Texas Coastal Bend naval aviation community, Training Air Wing FOUR (CTW-4) personnel, CNATRA staff, T-44C Pegasus and T-54A Marlin II pilots and maintainers, TC-12B Huron heritage instructors, and naval aviation multi-engine and tilt-rotor pipeline alumni.
Stingrays — first to fly the T-54A.
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.
