Officially Licensed US Navy NAS Moffett Field Patch — Silicon Valley's Naval Air Station NAS Moffett Field stood watch in the heart of what would become Silicon Valley — from blimps to P-3 Orions. Naval Air Station Moffett Field, located in Mountain View, California, served the Navy from 1933 until its closure in 1994. This embroidered patch preserves the legacy of a base that transitioned from lighter-than-air operations (home to the iconic Hangar One that still stands) to land-based maritime patrol operations with P-3 Orion squadrons. NAS Moffett Field sat in the heart of what became Silicon Valley, and its massive hangars and runways served the Navy through World War II, the Cold War, and the P-3 patrol era. The base's closure ended nearly seven decades of naval aviation in the San Francisco Bay Area. Perfect For: NAS Moffett Field veterans, Bay Area naval aviation historians, P-3 Orion patrol community members, and Navy air station heritage patch collectors. Moffett Field — naval aviation in the heart of Silicon Valley.
