VMFA-648 Hawks/Silver Eagles (VMFA-533/VMFA-115) Red Flag Squadron Patch — When Two Squadrons Become One Beast
Beaufort sent the Hawks and Silver Eagles to Vegas, and Red Flag never saw it coming.
This patch was created for the combined team of VMFA(AW)-533 Hawks and VMFA-115 Silver Eagles from MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, for their participation in Red Flag — the U.S. Air Force's premier air combat exercise held at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Red Flag is the closest thing to real air-to-air and air-to-ground combat that exists in peacetime, and when Marine F/A-18 Hornet squadrons from Beaufort joined forces under the fictional "VMFA-648" designation, they brought the full weight of Marine Corps tactical air power to the desert. VMFA(AW)-533 Hawks and VMFA-115 Silver Eagles are both storied MAG-31 squadrons with combat lineages stretching back to WWII, and putting them together for Red Flag created a combined force that could match anything the Air Force, Navy, or allied nations brought to the fight.
Perfect For: VMFA-533 Hawks and VMFA-115 Silver Eagles Marines and veterans, Red Flag exercise participants, MCAS Beaufort squadrons, MAG-31 and 2nd MAW personnel, F/A-18 Hornet community, and anyone who earned their patch in the Red Flag kill box.
VMFA-648 — two squadrons, one mission, zero mercy.
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.
