VMFA-224 Bengals PVC Tail Flash Patch — Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 224 Tail Flash PVC Patch
Bengals on the prowl — VMFA-224's F-35B tail flash in rugged PVC.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 224 (VMFA-224), the "Bengals," is a United States Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II squadron based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina. Assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG-31) under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and II Marine Expeditionary Force, the Bengals are part of the Marine Corps' transition to fifth-generation stealth strike fighter aviation. This PVC tail flash patch replicates the distinctive "WK" tail code markings found on VMFA-224's F-35B Lightning II aircraft.
Tail flash patches are prized collectibles in military aviation, capturing the unique identity that each squadron paints on its aircraft. The F-35B Lightning II is the Marine Corps' premier strike fighter, combining stealth technology, advanced sensor fusion, and short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) capability in a single revolutionary airframe. VMFA-224's transition to the F-35B represents the cutting edge of Marine tactical aviation, and this PVC tail flash captures that new era with durable, weather-resistant construction that maintains vivid detail through daily use.
Perfect For: VMFA-224 Bengals veterans and active-duty members, F-35B Lightning II enthusiasts, tail flash patch collectors, 2nd MAW and MAG-31 alumni, PVC patch fans, and anyone who values the distinctive markings of Marine Corps fighter squadrons.
Bengals unleashed — VMFA-224's Lightning tail flash.
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.
