VXE 6 Puckered Penguins (U.S. Navy) Black Coffee Mug

The "VXE 6 Puckered Penguins" is a set of six naval insignia pins, specifically associated with the U.S. Navy's VX-6 squadron. These pins depict penguins in a humorous and slightly exaggerated style, a tradition that originated from the squadron's mascot. The penguin design, often referred to as "puckered," is believed to symbolize the challenging nature of the VX-6's work in the field of experimental test flights. The U.S. Navy VX-6, based at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Maryland, is a key component in the development and testing of new naval aircraft technologies. These pins are not only symbols of the squadron but also serve as collector's items for aviation enthusiasts and supporters of the U.S. Navy.
