Official US Army B Co 3-82 GSAB Flippers Traditional Patch - Bravo Company, 3rd General Support Aviation Battalion, 82nd Aviation Regiment, CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift unit embroidered patch.
Flippers identity, All-American heavy lift, and the only Chinook company in the 82nd Airborne Division — stitched into a single traditional patch.
Bravo Company, 3-82 General Support Aviation Battalion carries the callsign Flippers and holds a distinct place inside the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade as the sole heavy-lift company assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division. Flying the CH-47 Chinook, the Flippers move troops, equipment, and supplies across demanding timelines and austere environments, supporting the Division's rapid deployment posture from Fort Liberty, North Carolina. The battalion itself was reflagged as 3-82 GSAB on 5 April 2006 and has since built a record of sustained readiness and operational innovation that earned the unit recognition as the Army Aviation Association of America's Active Aviation Unit of the Year in 2025. The Flippers patch captures that legacy in traditional embroidered form, giving the unit's identity a durable, display-ready format suited to flight gear, shadow boxes, patch boards, and veteran collections. Because B Company is the only heavy-lift element in the Division, the Chinook mission and the Flippers name carry weight that goes well beyond a standard aviation company patch, making this piece a meaningful marker of a specialized and high-demand role inside one of the Army's most storied airborne formations.
Perfect For: Army aviation veterans, CH-47 Chinook crew members and flight engineers, Flippers alumni, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade supporters, 82nd Airborne Division collectors, Fort Liberty and Fort Bragg memorabilia displays, shadow boxes, challenge coin and patch boards, reunion gifts, and anyone building a unit-history collection around All-American heavy-lift aviation. It also suits family members and supporters who want a specific, researched piece tied to the Chinook mission, the Flippers callsign, and the sustained readiness work that defines B Company's role inside the Division.
Flippers heritage, heavy-lift pride, and All-American identity — preserved in every stitch.
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.
