Official HMH-464 Condors Patch — Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464 Embroidered Patch
Condors soar — East Coast heavy lift at its finest.
Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464 (HMH-464), the "Condors," is a United States Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopter squadron based at MCAS New River, North Carolina. Assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 29 (MAG-29) under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and II Marine Expeditionary Force, the Condors provide the critical heavy-lift capability that allows Marine forces to move the heaviest equipment, vehicles, and supplies into combat zones and austere environments that no other helicopter can reach.
The CH-53E Super Stallion is the most powerful helicopter in the Western world, capable of lifting over 36,000 pounds of external cargo — enough to carry a Light Armored Vehicle, a howitzer, or massive quantities of combat supplies in a single sortie. HMH-464's crews routinely push this extraordinary machine to its limits during combat deployments, humanitarian operations, and training exercises. The Condors have deployed as part of Marine Expeditionary Units and independent task forces, providing the irreplaceable heavy-lift link that keeps the MAGTF supplied and mobile in the most demanding operational environments.
Perfect For: HMH-464 Condors veterans and active-duty crew, CH-53E Super Stallion enthusiasts, 2nd MAW and MAG-29 alumni, Marine heavy-lift helicopter fans, and military patch collectors who value East Coast Marine heavy helicopter power.
Condors carry the weight — HMH-464 lifts the heaviest loads.
