Official VX-20 Force Aircraft Test Squadron Christmas Patches - Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Twenty (VX-20) "Force" holiday-edition embroidered patches, Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland.
Full spectrum flight test for the Fleet, and a little holiday spirit from the Force community at Pax River.
VX-20, known by its callsign Force, is a United States Navy air test and evaluation squadron based at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, with roots tracing back to the establishment of NAS Patuxent River on 1 April 1943. The directorate that became VX-20 was renamed the Force Warfare Aircraft Test Directorate in June 1986, officially became a squadron in May 1995 as the Naval Force Aircraft Test Squadron, and received its current VX-20 designation in May 2002. Throughout its history, the squadron has supported the fleet through full-spectrum test and evaluation of patrol, carrier airborne early warning, fleet logistics, and Marine Corps tanker aircraft, including the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, P-8A Poseidon, MQ-4C Triton, and KC-130J Hercules. These Christmas patches carry that same Force identity into the holiday season, connecting the test community at Patuxent River with the traditions of unit camaraderie, seasonal gifting, and the pride that comes from being part of one of the Navy's most technically demanding squadrons. The embroidered format gives the holiday design a durable, display-ready finish suited to shadow boxes, patch boards, flight bags, and reunion keepsakes.
Perfect For: VX-20 veterans and active personnel, Naval Air Station Patuxent River alumni, Navy flight test community members, aviation collectors, military holiday gift shoppers, squadron reunion attendees, shadow box builders, challenge coin and patch board enthusiasts, and anyone who wants a seasonal collectible tied to a specific and storied Navy test and evaluation unit. These patches also make meaningful gifts for families and supporters of the Force community who want something more personal than a generic military holiday item.
Force heritage, stitched for the season and built to last well beyond the holidays.
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.
