Officially Licensed HMH-463 Pegasus PVC Patch — Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 Pegasus PVC Patch
Pegasus — the winged horse of HMH-463, lifting the heaviest loads in the Pacific with the power and grace of Marine heavy helicopter aviation.
Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 (HMH-463), the "Pegasus," is a USMC heavy-lift helicopter squadron that has operated the CH-53 series of heavy-lift helicopters throughout its history. Named after the winged horse of Greek mythology, the Pegasus call sign is fitting for a squadron whose mission is to make impossibly heavy things fly. HMH-463 has been a cornerstone of Marine heavy-lift aviation in the Pacific, providing the CH-53D Sea Stallion and CH-53E Super Stallion capability that enables the Marine Air-Ground Task Force to move its heaviest equipment across the battlefield.
The CH-53E Super Stallion that HMH-463 has operated is the workhorse of Marine heavy-lift aviation, capable of externally lifting 36,000 pounds — including Light Armored Vehicles, howitzers, and large supply pallets — or internally transporting 55 combat-loaded Marines. The aircraft's three turboshaft engines and seven-bladed main rotor make it the largest and most powerful helicopter in the Western military inventory, and its crews are among the most skilled aviators in the rotary-wing community.
HMH-463 has a distinguished combat history that includes service in Vietnam, where the squadron's CH-53s conducted heavy-lift operations in some of the most demanding conditions of the war. The Pegasus legacy encompasses decades of deployments, exercises, and humanitarian missions across the Pacific theater, cementing the squadron's reputation as one of the Marine Corps' premier heavy-lift units.
Perfect For: HMH-463 Pegasus members and veterans, CH-53 series aircrew and maintainers, Marine heavy helicopter community members, Pacific-based Marine aviation personnel, and USMC PVC patch collectors.
HMH-463 Pegasus — the winged horse of Marine aviation, making the heaviest loads fly across every battlefield in the Pacific.
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.
