Officially Licensed US Navy VA-205 Green Falcons Patch — Attack Squadron 205 Green Falcons Embroidered Patch
The Green Falcons — VA-205, a Navy Reserve attack squadron that soared from NAS Atlanta, maintaining combat readiness with the A-4 Skyhawk and A-7 Corsair II.
Attack Squadron 205 (VA-205), the "Green Falcons," was a U.S. Navy Reserve attack squadron based at Naval Air Station Atlanta, Georgia. The Green Falcons operated multiple aircraft types throughout their history, including the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, the Vought A-7 Corsair II, and the Grumman A-6 Intruder, transitioning through the Navy's attack aircraft inventory as technology evolved and older platforms were retired.
As a reserve squadron, VA-205 maintained a cadre of experienced aviators — many of whom had served in fleet attack squadrons during active duty — who continued to fly and train in the reserve component. The Green Falcons conducted regular training flights, weapons qualifications, and carrier qualifications to maintain their combat readiness, ensuring that the squadron could be mobilized and integrated into the active fleet on short notice. Operating from NAS Atlanta, VA-205 was one of the Navy Reserve aviation community's attack squadrons that provided depth to the Navy's carrier-based strike capability.
The Green Falcons' transition through multiple aircraft types — from the A-4 Skyhawk to the A-7 Corsair II to the A-6 Intruder — demonstrated the squadron's adaptability and the commitment of its aviators to maintaining proficiency on increasingly complex platforms while serving in a reserve capacity.
Perfect For: VA-205 Green Falcons veterans, Navy Reserve aviators, NAS Atlanta community members, A-4/A-7/A-6 community members, and Navy heritage squadron patch collectors.
