The Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 126 "Seahawks" is one of the U.S. Navy's premier E-2D Advanced Hawkeye squadrons, providing airborne command and control, battle management, air surveillance, and early warning capabilities for Carrier Strike Groups operating around the world. Based at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, VAW-126 is assigned to Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1) and supports the Navy's mission of maintaining global maritime superiority.
For decades, the Seahawks have served aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, coordinating complex air operations and providing commanders with the real-time situational awareness necessary to defend the fleet. Whether deployed in support of combat operations, multinational exercises, or routine carrier deployments, VAW-126 continues a proud tradition of excellence in naval aviation.
At Lucky Shot Tees, we're proud to create custom apparel that celebrates the Sailors, aircrew, maintainers, and families who make the Seahawks one of the Navy's most respected airborne early warning squadrons. From deployment shirts and command apparel to retirement gifts and reunion merchandise, every design is created to honor your squadron's service and legacy.

Every deployment creates memories that deserve to be preserved. The long hours aboard an aircraft carrier, the friendships formed during workups, and the pride of completing another successful cruise all become part of a squadron's story.
Lucky Shot Tees creates original artwork specifically for VAW-126, designing apparel that reflects your command rather than relying on generic military graphics. Our artists can incorporate the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, aircraft carrier flight operations, radar imagery, catapult launches, arrested landings, squadron insignia, deployment themes, cruise ports, command mottos, callsigns, qualification milestones, and custom artwork unique to the Seahawks.
Whether your command is looking for a clean heritage design or an aggressive deployment shirt, every project is custom created to capture the identity and traditions of VAW-126.
Life in a carrier-based squadron is built around unforgettable experiences. From pre-deployment workups and Composite Training Unit Exercises (COMPTUEX) to overseas deployments, Tiger Cruises, homecomings, change of command ceremonies, retirement celebrations, command picnics, holiday events, and reunion weekends, every milestone provides an opportunity to create apparel that strengthens squadron pride.
Squadron apparel should reflect the professionalism of the people who wear it. That's why Lucky Shot Tees offers premium garments selected for comfort, durability, and long-lasting quality.
