**Legacy US Customs Puerto Rico Flying Mofongo Brothers Patch**

If you know, you know. The Flying Mofongo Brothers didn't just patrol the Caribbean—they owned it. This patch carries the swagger and dark humor of the crews who flew some of the most dangerous counter-narcotics missions in the islands.

Puerto Rico's U.S. Customs air operations sat at the crossroads of major Caribbean drug trafficking routes. The "Flying Mofongo Brothers" nickname reflects the tight-knit island culture and gallows humor that defined these crews—mofongo being Puerto Rico's iconic dish, and "brothers" capturing the bond forged during high-stakes maritime interdiction flights across open water.

• **Type:** Embroidered patch with bold, distinctive island-inspired design
• **Backing:** Hook & loop (Velcro) for flight suits and tactical gear
• **Durability:** Color-fast embroidery built for tropical conditions
• **Detail:** Dense stitching with Caribbean-themed unit artwork
• **Application:** Flight jackets, gear bags, shadow boxes, display collections

**Perfect For:** Puerto Rico-based Customs and CBP aviation veterans, Caribbean air interdiction crews, law enforcement patch collectors, and anyone connected to the proud legacy of island-based federal aviation.
