Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Darth Vader been on the patches for a long time?

What does the VAQ designation represent? EA-6B Prowler squadron?

Just wondering, but do they have to pay Lucas to be able to do that?

Is Lucas going to argue with the United States Navy?

I'm thinking they approached him to do that before they put it on the patches.

Excellent. I doubt they have to pay Lucas anything, as long as they don't sell them anyway.

I read in Insider that a Navy pilot made his flight helmet look like Luke's. :lol:

It means they are an Electronic Warfare squadron. In this case they do fly Prowlers.

Aren't there also a Naval squadron which has the Grim Reaper on their patch?

(or is that the Airforce's medics??)
