Legacy US Customs New York Air Unit Patch
Running air ops out of Long Island over one of the most congested airspaces on the planet takes a different kind of crew. The New York Air Unit didn't have the luxury of wide-open desert—they threaded the needle between commercial traffic, restricted zones, and the Atlantic.
The New York Air Unit operated from Islip, Long Island, providing aerial surveillance and interdiction support across the northeastern United States. Unlike their counterparts in the desert Southwest, New York Customs aviators conducted missions in some of the most complex airspace in the world, tracking smuggling activity along the Atlantic coast and coordinating with multiple federal agencies in one of the most densely populated regions in the country.
Perfect For: New York-based Customs and CBP aviation veterans, northeastern air operations personnel, law enforcement patch collectors, and federal aviation history enthusiasts.
