Product Description

Official C-26D Metroliner Patch — The Mediterranean Express

Because somebody has to move the people and parts that keep the European theater running.

The C-26D Metroliner is a military utility transport version of the Fairchild Metro 23 — a twin-engine turboprop that replaced the C-12 in providing rapid-response transport for high-priority cargo and key personnel throughout the European theater. Based primarily at NAS Sigonella, Sicily, and NSA Naples, Italy, the C-26D fleet — nicknamed the "Mediterranean Express" or MedEx — flies everything from VIPs and troops to critical ship parts and hazardous materials across the Med. It's not glamorous flying, and the Metro is famously finicky to handle, but the mission is essential — getting the right people and parts to the right place at the right time. This flight hour patch marks the milestones earned in one of the Navy's most underappreciated aircraft.

Perfect For: C-26D Metroliner pilots and aircrew, NAS Sigonella MedEx veterans, Navy utility transport aviators, and anyone who knows that logistics wins wars even when nobody's watching.

Not flashy. Not fast. Absolutely essential. MedEx delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

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.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
