Official US Customs Jacksonville P-3 Air Branch Patch — Federal Maritime Patrol Aviation Law Enforcement Embroidered Patch
P-3 Orions running counter-narcotics surveillance out of Jacksonville — when the Navy's sub-hunter became Customs' drug-hunter.
The U.S. Customs Jacksonville P-3 Air Branch operated the Lockheed P-3 Orion for long-range maritime patrol and surveillance missions. Originally designed for Navy anti-submarine warfare, the P-3 was adapted by Customs for wide-area drug interdiction — tracking suspect vessels and aircraft across thousands of miles of open water in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Eastern Pacific.
