Blue Angels – Jeff Kuss Memorial Patch & Sticker

In honor of Captain Jeff Kuss — Blue Angel #6, gone but never forgotten.

On June 2, 2016, Marine Captain Jeff "Kooch" Kuss was killed when his F/A-18 Hornet crashed during a practice session for an air show in Smyrna, Tennessee. Captain Kuss was the opposing solo pilot (#6) for the Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy's elite flight demonstration squadron. His death shook the entire military aviation community and the countless fans who followed the Blue Angels. This memorial patch and sticker was created as a community tribute project, with proceeds donated to the Aviator Down Foundation. Hundreds of patches and stickers were sent to the Blue Angels and the Kuss family at no cost, reflecting the outpouring of support from the aviation community for a fallen brother.

Perfect For:
Blue Angels fans, Marine Corps aviation community members, military memorial collectors, naval aviation supporters, and anyone who wishes to honor the memory of Captain Jeff Kuss.

Forever Blue Angel #6.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
