Official MAG-31 Vaporwave Shoulder Patch - Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG-31), MCAS Beaufort, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Embroidered Shoulder Patch.
Fightertown identity, East Coast fighter-attack heritage, and the unmistakable energy of MAG-31 rendered in a vaporwave shoulder patch built for the board and the bag.
Marine Aircraft Group 31 was commissioned on 1 February 1943 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, and went on to earn the Presidential Unit Citation for its role in the Battle of Okinawa, where it put 80 of 109 aircraft into the fight against kamikaze attacks and delivered close air support to Marines on the ground. After the war, MAG-31 was reactivated in 1961 at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, where it has remained the cornerstone of East Coast Marine fixed-wing aviation ever since. Today the group falls under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and fields F/A-18C Hornet and F-35B Lightning II squadrons, with a mission to conduct anti-air warfare and offensive air support from advanced bases, expeditionary airfields, and aircraft carriers. Squadrons rotate regularly to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, and deploy aboard Navy carriers, keeping MAG-31 personnel and aircraft forward and ready across the globe. The vaporwave design gives that deep operational identity a bold, modern visual treatment that stands out on a patch panel, flight bag, or shadow box display without losing the unit-specific character that makes a MAG-31 piece worth collecting.
Perfect For: MAG-31 veterans and active-duty Marines, MCAS Beaufort alumni, F/A-18 Hornet and F-35B Lightning II aircrew, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing collectors, East Coast Marine aviation enthusiasts, deployment keepsake displays, challenge coin and patch boards, shadow boxes, reunion gifts, and anyone building a unit-history collection around Marine fighter-attack heritage. It also suits families and supporters who want a distinctive, visually striking tribute to the pilots, maintainers, and ground crews who keep Fightertown's aircraft mission-ready around the clock.
MAG-31 heritage, Fightertown pride, stitched in a style as sharp as the mission.
