Skid Kids Plane Captain PVC Patch — USMC Marine Light Attack Helicopter Community PVC Patch
Skid Kids — Plane Captain Edition
The PC who signs off the bird is the last line of defense before the rotors turn. This patch is for the Marines who own the aircraft on the deck.
In the Marine Corps' light attack and utility helicopter community, the Plane Captain is the enlisted Marine responsible for the preflight, postflight, and turnaround inspections of the aircraft. Before any Huey or Cobra launches, the Plane Captain walks the aircraft, checks every system, and gives the thumbs-up that the bird is safe to fly. It's a position of trust and accountability that every aviation maintainer aspires to — and one that directly impacts whether the mission goes or doesn't. This Skid Kids Plane Captain PVC patch recognizes the Marines who earn that qualification on the UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper flightlines, maintaining the aircraft that the Skid Kids depend on.
Perfect For: Marine aviation Plane Captains, HMLA squadron maintainers, UH-1Y and AH-1Z ground crew, Skid Kids community members, and anyone who's signed for a bird.
Plane Captain qualified. Skid Kids approved.
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.
