Officially Licensed US Navy HT-8 Eightballers Grasshopper Throwback Patch — Navy Helicopter Training Squadron Embroidered Patch

HT-8 Eightballers Grasshopper — a throwback to the early days of Navy helicopter training.

Helicopter Training Squadron 8 (HT-8), the “Eightballers,” has trained generations of Navy and Marine Corps helicopter pilots at NAS Whiting Field, Florida. This throwback “Grasshopper” variant captures a vintage era of the squadron’s identity — when student pilots were just beginning to learn the fundamentals of rotary-wing flight. The Eightballers have produced countless helicopter aviators who went on to fly every rotary-wing platform in the fleet.

Perfect For:
HT-8 instructors and alumni, NAS Whiting Field personnel, helicopter training pipeline students, and vintage naval aviation throwback patch collectors.
