Legacy US Customs 1996 Atlanta Olympics NASO Patch — Airspace Security Federal Law Enforcement Embroidered Patch
Summer of '96 — the world was watching Atlanta, and Customs had the airspace locked down. If you were part of the NASO detail, this patch is a piece of Olympic security history.
The U.S. Customs National Air Security Operations (NASO) program deployed to the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics to enforce the temporary flight restrictions and provide aerial security over one of the largest sporting events in history. Working alongside the FAA, Secret Service, and military assets, Customs Air Branch crews monitored the skies above Atlanta's Olympic venues to detect and intercept unauthorized aircraft. The 1996 Games marked one of the earliest large-scale airspace security operations for Customs — a mission template that would become critically important after September 11, 2001.
• Embroidered legacy federal law enforcement patch
• Dense stitching with merrowed edge for long-lasting quality
• Hook & loop backing for flight jackets, tactical vests, and patch display boards
• Vibrant color-fast thread maintains sharp detail
• Sized for standard Velcro panels
Perfect For:
Former U.S. Customs Air Branch agents, NASO personnel, CBP Air and Marine Operations veterans, Olympic security alumni, and collectors of federal law enforcement aviation patches. A rare piece of airspace security history.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
