A milestone, stitched in flight thread. This official-style embroidered patch commemorates the Royal Netherlands Air Force’s 2019 introduction of the F-35 Lightning II, ushering in a new era of fifth-generation capability for Dutch airpower.

Created for the inaugural event, it features a bold head-on depiction of the aircraft framed by the national roundel colors, with crisp detailing and high-contrast embroidery throughout.

Clean, sharp, and mission-ready, this patch marks a defining moment in RNLAF history. For collectors, aviators, and those who know that some patches signify progress.
