Official VMM-362 Ugly Angels V-22 Tail Flash Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 362 Embroidered Patch
Ugly never looked this good — the Angels' Osprey tail flash.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 362 (VMM-362), the "Ugly Angels," is a United States Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey squadron based at MCAS Miramar, California. Assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 16 (MAG-16) under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, the Ugly Angels carry forward one of the most colorful and beloved traditions in Marine aviation. This tail flash patch replicates the distinctive markings found on VMM-362's MV-22B Osprey aircraft, featuring the squadron's "YL" tail code and the iconic Ugly Angel design that adorns the vertical stabilizers of their tiltrotor fleet.
Tail flash patches are a prized tradition in military aviation, capturing the unique identity that each squadron paints on its aircraft. VMM-362 has served the Marine Corps since the Vietnam War era, when they flew CH-53 Sea Stallions as HMH-362 and earned their combat reputation in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Today's Ugly Angels continue that legacy with the MV-22B Osprey, providing tiltrotor assault support across the Pacific theater and beyond. The squadron's irreverent name belies a unit with a fierce combat heritage and a deep commitment to getting Marines where they need to be.
Perfect For: VMM-362 veterans and active-duty Ugly Angels, MV-22 Osprey crew members, tail flash patch collectors, 3rd MAW and MAG-16 alumni, and aviation enthusiasts who appreciate aircraft-specific insignia.
Ugly and proud — VMM-362's tail flash flies with honor.
