Vintage NASA JSC SHUTTLE TRAINER AIRCRAFT Patch 5" Gulfstream STA Worm Logo

Up for sale is a very scarce, vintage original NASA Johnson Space Center "Shuttle Trainer" aircraft program patch.

Item Details & Features:

Text Inscriptions: "NASA-JSC" (using the iconic vintage vector worm-style text elements) and "SHUTTLE TRAINER".

Graphic Imagery: Pristine, high-density embroidery detailing a sleek silver Grumman Gulfstream II STA in mid-flight profile. The tail fin features a beautifully rendered red NASA "Worm" script logo, set against a deep blue sky field and an expansive metallic-silver outer ring border.

Measurements: Large oversized display size measuring 5 inches in diameter.

Backing: Features the authentic vintage smooth plastic-coated heat-seal backing. This confirms its status as a genuine late-1980s to 1990s internal facility production (New Old Stock).

Safely preserved in a private collection for over 25 years with brilliant thread work, crisp text, and perfect structural rigidity.
