Officially Licensed US Navy VT-21 Redhawks Single Hawk Throwback Patch — Training Squadron 21 Redhawks Single Hawk Throwback Design Embroidered Patch
Redhawks throwback — VT-21's classic single hawk design.
This VT-21 "Redhawks" throwback patch features the squadron's classic single hawk design from an earlier era, preserving a piece of VT-21's visual history that predates the current insignia. Throwback patches are cherished in military aviation because they connect current personnel to the squadron's heritage and remind everyone that today's mission is built on a foundation laid by previous generations.
VT-21 operates the T-45C Goshawk advanced jet trainer from NAS Kingsville, Texas, training student naval aviators in the intermediate and advanced phases of jet training. The single hawk throwback design captures a simpler, earlier version of the Redhawks' identity — when a single red hawk defined the squadron's look. For VT-21 students and instructors who wear the current patch, this throwback variant offers a connection to the pilots who came before them, training in earlier jets but facing the same challenges: mastering carrier landings, formation flying, and tactical maneuvering that define the naval aviator's journey.
This throwback patch preserves VT-21's classic design.
Perfect For: VT-21 Redhawks alumni, T-45 Goshawk aviators, vintage training squadron patch collectors, and throwback military insignia enthusiasts.
Classic Redhawk — VT-21 throwback.
