Officially Licensed USMC HMR(L) 262 Flying Tigers Patch — Marine Helicopter Transport Squadron (Light) 262 Flying Tigers Legacy Embroidered Patch

Flying Tigers legacy — HMR(L)-262's original helicopter heritage.

This patch represents HMR(L)-262 "Flying Tigers" in their original designation as a Marine Helicopter Transport Squadron (Light), preserving the squadron's identity from the early era of Marine helicopter operations. Before becoming today's VMM-262 operating the MV-22B Osprey, the Flying Tigers flew rotary-wing aircraft in the transport and utility role that pioneered Marine helicopter operations.

HMR(L)-262's heritage traces back to the early days of Marine helicopter aviation, when the Corps was developing the concepts of vertical envelopment and helicopter-borne assault that would revolutionize amphibious warfare. The Flying Tigers' transition through multiple designations — from HMR(L) to HMM to VMM — mirrors the evolution of Marine medium-lift aviation itself, from the early piston-engine helicopters through the CH-46 Sea Knight to today's revolutionary MV-22B Osprey. This legacy patch preserves the HMR(L)-262 designation from the pioneering era, honoring the Flying Tigers who flew the earliest Marine helicopters and developed the tactics that modern tiltrotor squadrons still build upon.

This patch preserves the original Flying Tigers designation.

Perfect For: VMM-262 Flying Tigers alumni, Marine helicopter transport history enthusiasts, legacy designation patch collectors, and early rotary-wing aviation heritage fans.

Original Flying Tigers — HMR(L)-262.

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.
