Navy – Airborne Command & Control Squadron 124 (VAW-124) T-Shirt

High above the fleet, the Bear Aces of VAW-124 kept watch.

This T-shirt is a tribute to every member of VAW-124 who stood that watch — from the flight deck to the radar scope, from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. If you flew with the Bear Aces or supported their mission, this shirt carries your legacy.

The Eyes of the Fleet

VAW-124, established in 1967 and homeported at NAS Norfolk, earned the nickname "Bear Aces" through decades of distinguished service aboard carriers including USS America, USS Theodore Roosevelt, and USS Harry S. Truman. Flying the E-2C and E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, the squadron provided critical airborne early warning, battle management, and command & control across deployments spanning the Cold War, Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and beyond.

In naval aviation, the Hawkeye crew doesn't just watch the battle — they shape it. The Bear Aces of VAW-124 did exactly that, deployment after deployment.

Proudly designed for Navy aviators, VAW-124 alumni, and naval aviation history collectors.
