Gunfighters through the ages — HMLA-369's throwback heritage.
Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369 (HMLA-369), the "Gunfighters," is one of the most recognized and combat-tested attack helicopter squadrons in the United States Marine Corps. Based at MCAS Camp Pendleton, California, and assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 39 (MAG-39) under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, the Gunfighters operate the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom. This throwback variant patch reaches back to an earlier era of the squadron's distinguished history, featuring the classic heritage design that evokes the Gunfighters' legacy from previous decades.
HMLAT-369's throwback patch captures the squadron's identity as it appeared in earlier incarnations, connecting today's AH-1Z Viper pilots with the Cobra gunship crews and Huey pilots who built the Gunfighter reputation in combat. The Gunfighters have earned their name through decades of aggressive close air support, armed reconnaissance, and escort missions in every major Marine Corps combat deployment. Heritage and throwback patches are prized by collectors who appreciate the evolution of squadron art over time and want to honor every chapter of a unit's history.
