**Legacy US Customs Corpus Christi P3 Air Branch Patch**
If you flew surveillance over the Gulf Coast in a P-3 Orion wearing Customs blue, this patch speaks your language. Corpus Christi Air Branch ran some of the most critical maritime interdiction missions along the southern border—tracking smuggling vessels and airborne threats across hundreds of miles of open water.
Legacy U.S. Customs air branches operated the P-3 Orion—a four-engine maritime patrol aircraft originally designed for anti-submarine warfare—adapted for long-range detection and tracking of drug-running aircraft and go-fast boats. The Corpus Christi branch provided critical aerial surveillance covering the Texas Gulf Coast, one of the busiest smuggling corridors in the Western Hemisphere.
• **Type:** Embroidered patch with dense stitching and merrowed border
• **Backing:** Hook & loop (Velcro) for easy attachment
• **Durability:** Built to withstand daily wear on flight suits and tactical gear
• **Detail:** Vivid color-fast thread with sharp P-3 aircraft imagery
• **Application:** Flight jackets, gear bags, shadow boxes, display frames
**Perfect For:** Retired Customs pilots, legacy CBP aviation personnel, P-3 Orion enthusiasts, law enforcement aviation collectors, and anyone who served in federal air interdiction operations.
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.
