Unicorn Shoulder Patch — HMLAT-303 Atlas "Unicorn" Shoulder Embroidered Patch
The Atlas Unicorn — HMLAT-303's mythical shoulder patch.
This HMLAT-303 "Atlas" Unicorn shoulder patch features a unique unicorn design that adds a touch of whimsy to the Marine Corps' light attack helicopter training squadron. Morale patches with unexpected themes like unicorns are popular in military aviation for their contrast with the serious nature of the mission.
HMLAT-303 operates the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom as the Fleet Replacement Squadron for Marine light attack helicopter crews, based at MCAS Camp Pendleton, California. The Atlas squadron trains every Marine light attack pilot and crew member who will fly the Viper and Venom in the fleet. The unicorn design is a playful departure from standard military imagery, adding personality and humor to the squadron's patch collection. In a community that prides itself on being tough, adding a unicorn to the mix shows the self-deprecating humor that defines Marine aviation culture. The shoulder patch format makes this a wearable conversation piece that's sure to draw attention on any flight suit.
This shoulder patch is HMLAT-303's unicorn edition.
Perfect For: HMLAT-303 Atlas students and instructors, Marine light attack helicopter training community members, unicorn morale patch collectors, and humorous military shoulder patch enthusiasts.
