HMM-262 Avionics (Vietnam) Patch
A reproduction of the original — requested by the veterans who wore it.
Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262 (HMM-262) served in Vietnam flying the CH-46 Sea Knight, conducting assault transport, resupply, and casualty evacuation missions across the Vietnamese countryside. The avionics section was responsible for maintaining the squadron's critical electronic systems — navigation, communication, and instrumentation that kept the Phrogs flying safely in one of the most demanding combat environments in aviation history. This patch is a faithful reproduction of the original HMM-262 avionics patch, recreated at the request of a Vietnam veteran who wanted to preserve the memory of the Marines who kept the electronics working in the heat, humidity, and chaos of the Vietnam War.
Perfect For:
HMM-262 Vietnam veterans, Marine CH-46 avionics technicians, Popasmoke community members, Vietnam-era Marine helicopter squadron personnel, and military insignia reproduction collectors.
Keeping the Phrogs' electronics alive in the jungle.
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.
