Description: An ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC patch from the VFA-32 'SWORDSMEN' that fly the F/A-18 SuperHornet aircraft. Strike Fighter Squadron 32 (VFA-32), nicknamed the "Fighting Swordsmen" are a US Navy strike fighter squadron presently flying the F/A-18F Super Hornet and based ashore at Naval Air Station Oceana, VA. Their radio callsign is Gypsy and their tail code is AC. The Fighting Swordsmen of VFA-32 are the 2023 recipients of the Mutha Fighter Spirit Award, awarded annually at the Navy’s Strike Fighter Ball in Norfolk, VA. Their mission is: "Strike Fighter Squadron 32, as a part of US Naval Aviation, utilizes the F/A-18F aircraft to project power ashore and at sea, to defend the Fleet against air and sea threats and to carry out all other missions which may be assigned by cognizant authority. This is the "Plane Captain" patch created for those who work on the jet. It shows a Rhino carrying tie-down chains, the Hornet A/C in the other, and a "Dixie Cup" on his head! This patch has "no" backing, a "cut black" border, has a "fully embroidered" background, NO velcro, and the dimensions are shown in the photos...the ruler on the right is 6". This is from a retired US NAVY CAPTAIN's collection I just acquired, and hope to find it a good home. This is an ORIGINAL ONE-OF only, so grab it while you can and is an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the officer during one of his many tours/deployments.
