Official US Army B Co 3-82 GSAB Flippers PANTRO Patch - Bravo Company, 3rd General Support Aviation Battalion, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, CH-47 Chinook heavy lift unit, Task Force PANTRO embroidered patch.
Flippers pride, heavy iron, and All-American Division lift identity stitched into one compact piece of Army aviation heritage.
Bravo Company, 3-82 GSAB earned the Flippers callsign as the 82nd Airborne Division's dedicated CH-47 Chinook heavy lift company at Fort Liberty, North Carolina. Reflagged under the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade on 5 April 2006, the battalion traces its lineage through eight Vietnam campaigns and decades of airborne readiness. As the only heavy lift company in the Division, the Flippers carry an outsized share of the mission, moving troops, equipment, and supplies under demanding operational timelines. The PANTRO designation on this patch marks a specific task force identity, connecting the emblem to a named deployment or exercise rotation where B Company operated under that callsign. The 3-82 GSAB was recognized by the Army Aviation Association of America as the Active Aviation Unit of the Year at the 2025 Mission Solutions Summit, a distinction that reflects the battalion's consistent innovation and readiness across troop movement, aeromedical evacuation, and general support missions. This embroidered patch captures that operational identity in a durable, fully stitched format suited for flight suits, gear bags, shadow boxes, and unit display boards. The combination of the Flippers callsign and the PANTRO task force designation makes this a specific, time-stamped piece of Army aviation history rather than a generic unit souvenir.
Perfect For: Army aviation veterans, CH-47 Chinook crew members and flight engineers, B Company 3-82 GSAB alumni, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade supporters, Fort Liberty and Fort Bragg community members, task force rotation veterans, shadow box builders, challenge coin and patch board collectors, deployment keepsake seekers, and family members who want a meaningful tribute to the Soldiers who kept the Division's heaviest lift airborne through training, deployment, and every mission in between.
Flippers callsign, PANTRO mission, All-American Division heavy lift — stitched for the crews who moved the load.
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.
