Legacy US Customs Tampa Air Unit (Pirates of the Gulf) Patch — Federal Aviation Law Enforcement Heritage Embroidered Patch
Pirates of the Gulf — patrolling Florida's west coast skies for smugglers running the Caribbean pipeline.
The U.S. Customs Tampa Air Unit operated across Florida's Gulf Coast, conducting aerial interdiction and surveillance operations over Tampa Bay, the Suncoast, and the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Tampa crews tracked maritime and airborne smuggling operations feeding the Caribbean-to-Florida drug corridor.
• Embroidered legacy federal law enforcement patch
• Dense stitching with merrowed border for lasting quality
• Hook & loop backing for flight jackets, tactical gear, and display boards
• Vibrant color-fast thread preserves the Pirates design
• Sized for standard Velcro panels
Perfect For:
Former U.S. Customs Tampa Air Unit personnel, Gulf Coast interdiction veterans, CBP AMO Florida crews, and legacy Customs aviation patch collectors.
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.
