HMLA-367 Scarface Phu Bai Patches - Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 (HMLA-367) Vietnam War Embroidered Patch honoring Scarface operations at Hue and Phu Bai, I Corps, Republic of Vietnam.
Scarface earned its name in the skies over I Corps, and every stitch in this patch carries the weight of that callsign, that base, and that fight.
HMLA-367 traces its lineage to December 1943, when it was activated at Quantico as Marine Observation Squadron 351. Reactivated in August 1966 for the Vietnam War, the squadron arrived at Hue and Phu Bai in December 1966, flying the Bell UH-1E Huey in support of the 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions, the U.S. Army, and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam throughout I Corps. The Scarface callsign was adopted in the summer of 1967 after Major Bill Murphy lobbied to replace the earlier Oakgate designation with something that matched the squadron's aggressive close air support identity. Operating from Phu Bai under Marine Aircraft Group 36 and later MAG-16 Forward, Scarface flew armed escort, fire support, and reconnaissance missions across some of the most contested terrain in Vietnam, including covert sorties supporting MACV-SOG deep into Laos. The squadron also became the first Marine Corps unit to fly the AH-1G Cobra in combat, a milestone that reshaped Marine rotary-wing doctrine. That Vietnam-era Phu Bai chapter, marked by relentless flight hours, multiple major operations, and a Presidential Unit Citation, is exactly what this patch commemorates.
Perfect For: Marine Vietnam veterans, HMLA-367 Scarface alumni, I Corps helicopter crew members, UH-1E Huey and AH-1G Cobra enthusiasts, Marine aviation historians, VMO-3 lineage collectors, MACV-SOG researchers, shadow box builders, reunion displays, and anyone preserving the story of Marine light attack helicopter operations in Southeast Asia. It also suits families of Phu Bai-era Marines, patch board collectors focused on Vietnam-era USMC aviation, and gift buyers who want a historically grounded tribute to one of the most decorated and storied squadrons in Marine Corps history.
Scarface, Phu Bai, and the I Corps skies that forged a callsign worth wearing.
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.
