They were originally designated as VF-43 in September 1950, then redesignated in February 1959. They adopted the squadron insignia of the original VF-11 which was decommissioned the day prior, but even though they carry on the tradition of the insignia, they do not carry the original VF-11 lineage which dates back to February 1927. This is the \"plane captain\" patch worn by the maintenance personnel that take care of the birds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43776439648490,"sku":"","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/products\/vf11pcwhite.jpg?v=1670345799","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/vf-11-plane-captain-patch-white","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
