Officially Licensed US Navy VC-4 Dragon Flyers Patch — Fleet Composite Squadron 4 Dragon Flyers Embroidered Patch

Dragon Flyers — VC-4's composite mission versatility.

Fleet Composite Squadron 4 (VC-4) "Dragon Flyers" was a United States Navy fleet composite squadron that performed a variety of specialized missions in support of fleet operations. Composite squadrons were among the most versatile units in naval aviation, tasked with target towing, electronic warfare, adversary training, and other support missions that operational squadrons depended on.

VC-4's Dragon Flyers earned their distinctive octopus-themed mascot — a creature with many arms reaching in many directions — reflecting the squadron's multi-mission nature. Composite squadrons supported fleet exercises, provided target services for surface ships and fighter squadrons, conducted electronic countermeasures training, and flew utility missions that kept the fleet's training tempo high. Though not as glamorous as front-line fighter or attack squadrons, composite squadrons like VC-4 were essential to maintaining the fleet's combat readiness. The Dragon Flyers' ability to juggle multiple mission sets simultaneously made them invaluable to fleet commanders who needed specialized aviation support.

This patch preserves the Dragon Flyers' legacy.

Perfect For: VC-4 Dragon Flyers veterans, fleet composite squadron historians, multi-mission naval aviation enthusiasts, and deactivated support squadron patch collectors.

Dragon Flyers — VC-4.
