VMFAT-501 Warlords Flight-E 6048 Patch — Where Fifth-Gen Pilots Are Forged
Before a Marine flies the F-35B into combat, the Warlords have to sign off on it.
Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 (VMFAT-501), the "Warlords," is the Marine Corps' Fleet Replacement Squadron for the F-35B Lightning II. Based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina under MAG-31, they are the gatekeepers for every Marine and allied pilot who will fly the short takeoff and vertical landing variant of the Joint Strike Fighter. The squadron traces its lineage back to VMF-451, activated in 1944 and blooded flying F4U Corsairs in the Pacific, later transitioning through Furies, Crusaders, and Phantoms before deactivation in 1997. Reactivated in 2010 as the Corps' first F-35B training unit, the Warlords now operate 27 Lightning IIs, training pilots for the most advanced stealth fighter in the Marine inventory. This Flight-E patch represents the crews keeping the fifth-gen pipeline running.
Perfect For: VMFAT-501 instructors and students, F-35B Lightning II pilots, MAG-31 Marines, and military aviation patch collectors.
Every F-35B Marine pilot earned their wings through the Warlords first.
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.
