This is the desert version of the squadron patch that has the tiger-head created for the VT-7 ‘Eagles’ that fly the T/A-4J out of NAS Meridian, MS (my hometown). The VT-9 Tigers is one of four U.S. Navy strike jet training squadrons and complete the syllabus by performing a series of scrutinized arrested landings on an aircraft carrier. This patch does not come with velcro attached.
