Carrier Qual Det The Good, The Bad and the Bolter Patch

Carrier Qual Det The Good, The Bad and the Bolter Patch — US Navy Carrier Qualification Morale Embroidered Patch

The Good, The Bad, and the Bolter — because every CQ det has all three.

Carrier qualification (CQ) is the ultimate test for student naval aviators — landing a T-45 Goshawk on a moving aircraft carrier. Every CQ detachment produces good traps, bad passes, and bolters (missed landings where the aircraft goes around). This morale patch captures the drama of carrier qualifications with a classic Western movie twist.

Perfect For:
Student naval aviators, T-45 Goshawk pilots, carrier qualification veterans, and Navy aviation training morale patch collectors.

The Good, The Bad, and the Bolter.
