Official VT-28 Rangers Halloween Patch - U.S. Navy Training Squadron Twenty-Eight (VT-28) Rangers officially licensed limited-edition Halloween embroidered morale patch, NAS Corpus Christi.
Foundation Builders by day, Rangers by night — the Halloween edition brings the Corpus Christi flight line's spirit to the spookiest night of the year.
VT-28 Rangers, commissioned on May 1, 1960, stands as one of two primary flight training squadrons at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, operating under Training Air Wing Four and the Chief of Naval Air Training. Flying the T-6B Texan II, the Rangers guide student naval aviators through every foundational phase of flight — takeoff and landing, aerobatics, emergency procedures, formation, and instrument work — before those students advance to community-specific pipelines and ultimately earn their Wings of Gold. The squadron's motto, The Foundation Builders, reflects a mission that has shaped tens of thousands of naval aviators across more than six decades, including over 4,844 primary graduates trained in the T-34C Turbo-Mentor alone before the T-6B Texan II arrived in 2015. The Halloween patch carries that same Ranger identity into a seasonal morale format, blending the squadron's call sign pride and training-command heritage with the tradition of unit-themed holiday patches that mark time, place, and community on the flight line.
Perfect For: VT-28 Rangers alumni, student naval aviators, Navy and Marine Corps flight training veterans, NAS Corpus Christi community members, Training Air Wing Four supporters, aviation patch collectors, Halloween-themed military memorabilia displays, shadow boxes, cruise boards, reunion gifts, and anyone who wants a seasonal piece that connects real squadron history to a collectible morale design. It also suits families and supporters who want a lighthearted but unit-specific tribute to the instructors and students who build the Navy's next generation of aviators one flight at a time.
Rangers heritage, Foundation Builders pride — stitched for the season and built to last the collection.
