Official MAG-13 Corrosion Team PVC Glow Patch — Marine Aircraft Group 13 Corrosion Control Team Glow-in-the-Dark PVC Patch
Fighting corrosion so you can fight the enemy.
Marine Aircraft Group 13 (MAG-13) at MCAS Yuma, Arizona, depends on its Corrosion Control Team to protect the group's fleet of F-35B Lightning II aircraft from the relentless enemy that no weapons system can defeat: corrosion. This glow-in-the-dark PVC patch celebrates the often-overlooked specialists who wage a daily battle against rust, oxidation, and environmental degradation that threatens to ground aircraft if left unchecked.
Corrosion is one of the biggest threats to military aircraft longevity and readiness. The harsh desert environment of MCAS Yuma, combined with the salt air exposure during shipboard deployments, creates ideal conditions for corrosion to attack aircraft structures, components, and systems. The Corrosion Control Team's technicians inspect, treat, and protect aircraft surfaces using specialized coatings, sealants, and chemical treatments that prevent structural degradation. Their work is painstaking, detail-oriented, and absolutely essential — a corroded component can cause catastrophic failure in flight. The glow-in-the-dark feature adds a fun element to a patch representing a team that works with chemicals and compounds all day.
This PVC patch glows in the dark because corrosion never sleeps — and neither does the team that fights it.
Perfect For: MAG-13 corrosion control specialists, Marine aviation maintenance professionals, corrosion prevention technicians, and glow PVC patch collectors.
Corrosion's worst nightmare — MAG-13.
