Established in October 1968, they fly the E-2C Hawkeye out of NAS Norfolk, VA, as the only airborne early warning role for the carrier battle group. Heavily involved in Desert Storm, the “Tigertails” were credited with controlling two F/A-18C Hornets that shot down two MiG-21s on January 17, 1991. This is the yellow/black version of their current squadron patch and does not come with velcro attached.
