Officially Licensed USMC VMF-224 Bengals Flightline Qual Patch
Qualified on the Bengals' flightline — where the F-35B meets the maintainers.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 224 (VMFA-224), the Bengals, operates the F-35B Lightning II out of MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, as part of Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG-31) under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Flightline Qualification patch certifies that the wearer has met the squadron's standards for operating safely on an active flightline around fifth-generation stealth fighters. Working on the flightline with the F-35B requires specialized knowledge of the aircraft's unique characteristics, including its STOVL operations and advanced stealth coatings. This patch represents the earned trust that comes with being qualified to work alongside one of the most advanced combat aircraft in the world.
