This is one of the original Albuquerque Air Branch Patches. The light blue color represents turquoise, which is prevalent throughout New Mexico. The Albuquerque Air Branch originally had Blackhawks and Citations to intercept the northbound narcotics smugglers, flying from the Mexican Border into the US. Many of these aerial chases ended in Colorado.

Legacy US Customs Albuquerque Air Branch Patch — Federal Aviation Law Enforcement Heritage Embroidered Patch

High desert, high altitude, high stakes. Albuquerque Air Branch covered New Mexico's airspace from the border to the mountains.

The U.S. Customs Albuquerque Air Branch conducted aerial interdiction and surveillance operations across New Mexico — a state with vast, remote terrain that provided smugglers with countless opportunities to move contraband by air. Albuquerque crews operated in a challenging high-altitude environment, tracking suspect aircraft across desert basins and mountain passes.

• Embroidered legacy federal law enforcement patch
• Dense stitching with merrowed border for lasting quality
• Hook & loop backing for flight jackets, tactical gear, and display boards
• Vibrant color-fast thread preserves heritage design
• Sized for standard Velcro panels

Perfect For:
Former U.S. Customs Albuquerque Air Branch personnel, CBP AMO New Mexico veterans, federal aviation LE collectors, and Southwest border enforcement historians.
