The squadron's primary mission is to man, train, and equip air vehicle pilots and maintainers to operate the Stingray in the fleet. The MQ-25 is designed to extend the carrier air wing's strike range by conducting aerial refueling at distances previously unachievable, freeing F\/A-18E\/F Super Hornets to carry ordnance instead of fuel. Secondary missions include recovery tanking and organic intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support to the Carrier Strike Group. On April 25, 2026, the first production-representative MQ-25A completed its maiden flight, and in May 2026 the program reached Milestone C and was cleared for Low-Rate Initial Production — a turning point in unmanned carrier aviation history. The first operational MQ-25 squadron, VUQ-11, was established on 1 April 2026 at NAS Patuxent River, with both VUQ-10 and VUQ-11 ultimately relocating to Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu, California. This sticker captures that pioneering identity in a durable vinyl format suited for laptops, flight bags, gear lockers, and display boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: VUQ-10 Pathfinders veterans and active personnel, MQ-25 Stingray air vehicle pilots and maintainers, Naval Air Station Patuxent River alumni, carrier aviation collectors, unmanned systems enthusiasts, Navy aviation historians, shadow box and display board builders, reunion keepsakes, and anyone who wants to mark the moment carrier aviation crossed into the unmanned era with a clean, unit-specific piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePathfinders first — the sticker that marks where carrier aviation history turned unmanned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45522800607341,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/3Patch_25_8169792b-24eb-4a60-92ed-9bd0ef7319a0.png?v=1785352006","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-vuq-10-pathfinders-stingray-sticker","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
