Officially Licensed HMX-1 Nighthawks CH-46 End of an Era Patch — USMC Marine Helicopter Squadron One Sea Knight Retirement Embroidered Patch
End of an Era — HMX-1 bids farewell to the CH-46E Sea Knight.
When Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) "Nighthawks" retired the CH-46E Sea Knight, it marked the end of decades of service for one of the most iconic helicopters in Marine Corps history. The CH-46 served HMX-1 in the executive transport role, supporting Presidential and VIP movement as part of the "White Tops" fleet. The Sea Knight's tandem-rotor design was a familiar sight in the skies over Washington, D.C., and at presidential landing zones worldwide. This patch commemorates that final chapter — the last Phrogs to wear the white top.
Perfect For:
HMX-1 Nighthawks CH-46 veterans, Marine One support personnel, CH-46 Sea Knight retirement ceremony attendees, Marine Corps aviation milestone collectors, and USMC end-of-era commemorative patch enthusiasts.
End of an Era. Last of the White Top Phrogs.
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.
