VT-27 T-6 Roswell Det 2026 "Hello Boys, I'm Baaaack!" PVC Patch — Training Squadron 27 "Boomers" T-6B Texan II Roswell New Mexico Detachment Patch
Hello Boys, I'm baaaack — VT-27 Boomers, T-6B Texan IIs on Det at Roswell.
Training Squadron 27 (VT-27), the "Boomers," is a US Navy primary flight training squadron based at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, operating under Training Air Wing FOUR (CTW-4) and the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA). VT-27 was originally established on July 11, 1951 as Advanced Training Unit-B at NAS Corpus Christi, moved to NAS Kingsville in 1952 and to NAS New Iberia, Louisiana in 1960 — where it was redesignated VT-27 — and returned to NAS Corpus Christi in July 1964, where the Boomers have remained ever since. The squadron has trained generations of US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Coast Guard, and partner-nation aviators across the TS-2A Tracker, T-28 Trojan (October 1973), T-34C Mentor (August 1983), and the current Beechcraft T-6B Texan II — taken on charge in June 2013 with the squadron's last T-34C sortie flown one month later. As one of just five Navy primary training squadrons (and one of two on the Texas Coastal Bend), VT-27 averages over 11,000 training missions annually and more than 70 sorties per training day. Periodic detachments to NAS Roswell, New Mexico — leveraging the high desert's airspace and weather — give student naval aviators a focused training tempo away from the Coastal Bend. This 2026 Roswell Det "Hello Boys, I'm Baaaack!" PVC patch celebrates one of those Roswell trips with a wink at New Mexico's most famous extraterrestrial reputation.
Perfect For: VT-27 Boomers instructor pilots and student naval aviators, NAS Corpus Christi residents and Texas Coastal Bend naval aviation community, Training Air Wing FOUR (CTW-4) personnel, CNATRA staff, T-6B Texan II pilots and maintainers, NAS Roswell New Mexico desert detachment alumni, and Naval Aviator primary pipeline graduates.
Boomers — primary training, Coastal Bend to Roswell, since 1951.
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.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
