Product Description

Official VFA-22 Redcocks F-18 Tail Flash Patch — Tail Flash, Full Swagger

The Fighting Redcocks put their mark on the tail — and the sky.

Strike Fighter Squadron 22, the Fighting Redcocks, fly the F/A-18 Super Hornet, delivering air-to-air and air-to-ground firepower as part of the Pacific Fleet's carrier air wings. This tail flash patch replicates the distinctive markings that adorn the vertical stabilizers of VFA-22's jets — the visual calling card that identifies the Redcocks from any angle on the flight deck or in the merge. Tail flash designs are a proud tradition in naval aviation, and VFA-22's is one of the most recognizable in the fleet.

Perfect For: VFA-22 pilots and maintenance crews, F/A-18 enthusiasts, tail flash patch collectors, and carrier aviation fans.

You'll know the Redcocks by their tail — and by the time you see it, it's already too late.

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.
