ACCRON ONE TWO SIX Coin

ACCRON (Airborne Command & Control Squadron) ONE TWO SIX or VAW-126, also nicknamed the “Seahawks”, is a carrier airborne early warning squadron of the United States Navy. The squadron is based at NS Norfolk, equipped with five E-2D Hawkeye aircraft.

VAW-126 mission is to provide mission-ready and combat-ready E-2D aircraft and proficient aircrew on the station, on time, and safely in order to execute the commander’s intent. It was first commissioned at NAS Norfolk, Virginia on 1 April 1969, and in March 2015, the squadron participated in Joint Exercise Green Flag 15-06 by providing airborne Command & Control for the Air Force’s 548th Combat Training Squadron at Barksdale AFB.

The cool and attractive custom challenge coin you see in the photos is crafted for the ACCRON ONE TWO SIX Commanding Officer. They requested a challenge coin with an extraordinary design, which is shaped like a normal round coin but with some ‘propellers’ protruding on the edge of it. These ‘propellers’ are similar to the ones that you see on an E-2D Hawkeye airplane.

The logo and insignia etched on the sides of the coin are no less eye-catching. The graphics were machined with precision, and the colors were applied beautifully.
