Officially Licensed USMC HMX-1 Throwback Squadron Patch — Marine Helicopter Squadron One Legacy Design Embroidered Patch
HMX-1 throwback — the classic insignia of the most famous helicopter squadron in the world.
Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) is the Presidential helicopter squadron, responsible for providing helicopter transport for the President of the United States aboard "Marine One." Established in 1947 at Marine Corps Air Station Quantico, Virginia, HMX-1 was originally created to develop helicopter assault techniques and tactics for the Marine Corps. The squadron's mission expanded to include executive transport when President Dwight D. Eisenhower became the first president to fly aboard a Marine helicopter in 1957. This throwback design preserves a classic-era HMX-1 insignia from the squadron's storied history.
Perfect For:
HMX-1 veterans and active duty personnel, Marine One crew members, Presidential helicopter support staff, Marine Corps aviation heritage collectors, and classic design throwback patch enthusiasts.
HMX-1. Throwback. The original Nighthawks.
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.
