Legacy US Customs Original Riverside Air Unit Patch — Federal Aviation Law Enforcement Heritage Embroidered Patch
The original Riverside Air Unit patch — before "Hollywood," before AMOC, this is where Customs air ops in SoCal started.
The U.S. Customs Riverside Air Unit was the original Southern California Customs aviation operation, conducting aerial surveillance and interdiction missions across the region from its base near March Air Force Base. This unit laid the groundwork for what would eventually become one of CBP's most important Air and Marine Operations centers.
• Embroidered legacy federal law enforcement patch
• Dense stitching with merrowed border for collector-grade quality
• Hook & loop backing for flight jackets, tactical gear, and display cases
• Vibrant color-fast thread preserves original design
• Sized for standard Velcro panels
Perfect For:
Former Riverside Air Unit personnel, CBP AMO SoCal veterans, legacy Customs aviation collectors, and federal LE heritage enthusiasts. The OG SoCal Customs air ops patch.
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.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
