4” inch patch with No Hook & Loop.

This is the famous first patch for the Tucson Air Branch. This patch was considered politically incorrect because the coyote is holding a Styer Aug. This is one of three legacy US Customs Air Branches that depicts a character holding the legendary Styer Aug rifle. Later, this patch was re-designed to show the coyote holding a sling shot.

Legacy US Customs Tucson Air Branch Patch (Coyote with AUG) — Federal Aviation Law Enforcement Heritage Embroidered Patch

The desert coyote with a Steyr AUG — Tucson Air Branch didn't just patrol the border, they owned it from altitude.

The U.S. Customs Tucson Air Branch was ground zero for aerial border interdiction in Arizona. Operating across the Sonoran Desert, Tucson crews tracked smuggling aircraft, directed ground interceptors, and maintained persistent surveillance over some of the most active drug corridors on the Southwest border. The coyote mascot with a Steyr AUG rifle reflects the aggressive, no-nonsense culture of a unit that operated in one of the harshest environments in federal law enforcement.

• Embroidered legacy federal law enforcement patch
• Dense stitching with merrowed edge for professional construction
• Hook & loop backing for flight jackets, tactical gear, and display cases
• Vibrant color-fast thread preserves unique mascot design
• Sized for standard Velcro panels

Perfect For:
Former U.S. Customs Tucson Air Branch agents, CBP AMO Arizona personnel, Southwest border interdiction veterans, and legacy Customs patch collectors. A classic piece of desert air ops history.
