Officially Licensed USMC VMAT-203 Hawks Squadron Patches — Where Harrier Pilots Were Made
Every AV-8B Harrier pilot who ever strapped in started here.
VMAT-203 "Hawks" was the Marine Corps' Fleet Replacement Squadron for the AV-8B Harrier II and its predecessor the A-4 Skyhawk — the training unit responsible for taking Marine aviators and turning them into VSTOL (Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing) combat pilots. Based at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, VMAT-203 was where newly winged aviators learned the art of hover, vertical landing, and the unique demands of flying a jet that could take off like a helicopter and fight like a fighter-bomber. The Hawks produced every Harrier pilot who flew in Desert Storm, OIF, OEF, and every MEU deployment in between. This officially licensed patch represents the squadron that built the Harrier community from the ground up — and launched it vertically.
Perfect For: VMAT-203 Hawks instructors and students, AV-8B Harrier II community, A-4 Skyhawk veterans, MCAS Cherry Point squadrons, VSTOL aviation enthusiasts, Marine attack aviation veterans, and anyone who learned to hover before they learned to land.
VMAT-203 Hawks — where vertical dreams became vertical realities.
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.
