VMA-214 Blacksheep Plane Captain — Embroidered Patch
Blacksheep Plane Captain — Keeper of the Harrier
The Plane Captain is the last Marine to touch the aircraft before the pilot takes it into the sky. For VMA-214, the Blacksheep, that means being responsible for one of the most demanding airframes in Marine aviation — the AV-8B Harrier. This patch represents the crew chiefs who own the jet.
The Plane Captain in Marine aviation is the enlisted Marine personally responsible for the pre-flight inspection, servicing, and launch of an assigned aircraft. For VMA-214, the legendary Blacksheep squadron that traces its lineage to Pappy Boyington and the corsairs of World War II, the Plane Captain is the guardian of the AV-8B Harrier II. These Marines conduct walk-around inspections, check fluid levels, verify flight control movements, and ensure every system is operational before giving the pilot the thumbs up.
Perfect For:
VMA-214 Blacksheep crew chiefs and plane captains, AV-8B Harrier maintenance Marines, MAG-13 enlisted aviation community, and aircraft maintenance heritage collectors.
Blacksheep Plane Captain — Own the Jet.
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.
