Officially Licensed USMC HMH-362 Ugly Angels 1996 Sticker — Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362 CH-53 Vinyl Sticker
The Ugly Angels — the squadron that brought Marine helicopter assault to Vietnam, now in sticker form.
Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362 (HMH-362), the "Ugly Angels," is one of the most historically significant helicopter squadrons in the Marine Corps. The Ugly Angels were the first Marine helicopter squadron to deploy to Vietnam in April 1962 under Operation Shufly, pioneering the helicopter assault tactics that would define Marine Corps operations throughout the war. This 1996-era sticker captures the squadron's identity during its CH-53 heavy-lift era — the period when the Ugly Angels transitioned from medium-lift operations to the Super Stallion and its extraordinary heavy-lift capability.
From Vietnam through the Cold War, Desert Storm, and beyond, the Ugly Angels built a reputation as one of the most reliable and combat-ready helicopter squadrons in Marine aviation. The squadron's crews have operated in the most challenging environments on earth, lifting the heaviest loads under the worst conditions. This vinyl sticker brings the Ugly Angels' legendary identity to any surface — gear cases, water bottles, toolboxes, vehicles, and the walls of ready rooms and maintenance shops where the squadron's legacy is remembered.
Perfect For:
HMH-362 Ugly Angels members and veterans, CH-53 community members, Marine helicopter aviation historians, and USMC squadron sticker collectors.
Ugly Angels. First to fly. Sticker proud.
