**Legacy US Customs Omaha Control Patch**

Behind every successful intercept was a controller who tracked, coordinated, and vectored aircraft into position. Omaha Control was the nerve center—and if you worked those scopes, this patch is yours.

U.S. Customs air operations depended on ground-based radar control centers to guide interceptor and surveillance aircraft during counter-narcotics missions. Controllers at facilities like Omaha provided real-time radar tracking and communications coordination, directing airborne assets to intercept inbound smuggling aircraft—often at night and in challenging conditions.

• **Type:** Embroidered patch with merrowed edge finish
• **Backing:** Hook & loop (Velcro) for secure attachment
• **Durability:** Heavy-duty thread construction for lasting display quality
• **Detail:** Clean, professional design reflecting control center heritage
• **Application:** Flight suits, tactical gear, shadow boxes, collector frames

**Perfect For:** Retired Customs controllers, air interdiction support personnel, federal aviation law enforcement collectors, and radar operations enthusiasts who know what it meant to be the voice in the headset.
