Official VMFA(AW)-224 Bengals F-18 Shoulder Patch — All-Weather Strike Fighters from Beaufort
The Bengals of VMFA(AW)-224 bring all-weather F/A-18 firepower from MCAS Beaufort — rain or shine, the Bengals hunt.
Marine Fighter Attack (All-Weather) Squadron 224 (VMFA(AW)-224), the Bengals, operates the F/A-18 Hornet from MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina. This F-18 shoulder patch highlights the Bengals' all-weather strike fighter capability. The "(AW)" designation means VMFA-224 specializes in all-weather and night attack operations, conducting precision strikes in conditions that ground other aircraft. The Bengals' two-seat F/A-18D Hornets carry a pilot and weapons systems officer, maximizing the aircraft's ability to find and destroy targets in degraded visibility and complex threat environments.
Perfect For: VMFA(AW)-224 Bengals aircrew, F/A-18D Hornet pilots and WSOs, MCAS Beaufort Marines, all-weather attack enthusiasts, and USMC strike fighter shoulder patch collectors.
Bengals — all-weather hunters from Beaufort.
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.
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.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
