Officially Licensed US Navy VA-36 Roadrunners Patch — Attack Squadron 36 "Hotrodus Supersonicus" Embroidered Patch
Roadrunners — Hotrodus Supersonicus.
Attack Squadron 36 (VA-36) "Roadrunners" was a United States Navy attack squadron whose playful faux-Latin motto "Hotrodus Supersonicus" (a nod to the Looney Tunes roadrunner's scientific name) perfectly captured the squadron's fast, aggressive attack philosophy. The Roadrunners flew from carrier decks during the Cold War and Vietnam era, delivering ordnance on target with the speed and tenacity of their cartoon namesake.
VA-36's Roadrunners were known for their spirited identity and combat effectiveness. The squadron operated attack aircraft from carriers throughout the Navy's forward-deployed fleet, conducting strike missions, close air support, and armed reconnaissance. The "Hotrodus Supersonicus" motto was a morale-boosting blend of humor and aggression — the Roadrunner cartoon character was famous for its impossible speed and ability to evade every threat, qualities that every attack pilot aspired to in combat. VA-36's legacy represents the golden age of Navy attack aviation, when dedicated attack squadrons provided the offensive punch that made carrier air wings the most powerful projection of force on Earth.
This patch honors the Roadrunners' attack aviation legacy.
Perfect For: VA-36 Roadrunners veterans, Navy attack squadron historians, Looney Tunes military crossover fans, and carrier aviation heritage collectors.

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.
