Officially Licensed US Navy VUQ-10 Pathfinders Squadron Sticker - Unmanned Carrier-Launched Multi-Role Squadron Ten (VUQ-10), the Pathfinders, officially licensed vinyl sticker.
Pathfinders leading the way — the Navy's first carrier-based unmanned aviation fleet replacement squadron, charting the future of the carrier air wing one flight at a time.
VUQ-10 was established on 1 October 2022 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, making it the Navy's first fleet replacement squadron dedicated to the MQ-25 Stingray, the first carrier-based unmanned aircraft in U.S. Navy history. The squadron's core mission is to man, train, and equip air vehicle pilots and maintenance personnel to operate the Stingray in the fleet, building the proficiency, safety standards, and tactical skills the broader VUQ community will depend on for years to come. The MQ-25 is designed to serve as a carrier-launched tanker, extending the strike range of the carrier air wing by refueling manned aircraft at distances and fuel quantities previously out of reach, while also positioning the platform for expanded multi-role missions as unmanned integration matures. VUQ-10 works alongside test squadrons at Patuxent River to develop the operational and maintenance procedures that will define how the Navy flies and sustains the Stingray, with the squadron's permanent home set for Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu, California. This officially licensed vinyl sticker carries the Pathfinders name and identity, connecting the collector directly to a genuinely historic moment in carrier aviation.
Perfect For: Navy aviation veterans, MQ-25 Stingray enthusiasts, unmanned systems collectors, NAS Patuxent River alumni, carrier air wing historians, naval aviation memorabilia displays, laptop and gear decoration, shadow boxes, cruise books, and anyone who wants to mark the beginning of the carrier-based unmanned aviation era with an officially licensed piece tied to the squadron that started it all.
Pathfinders heritage, officially licensed, and built for the collectors who track where naval aviation is going next.
