Official HMH-361 Flying Tigers MAW Madness Shoulder Patch - Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 (HMH-361), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing MAW Madness Logo Competition, Embroidered Shoulder Patch.
Seven decades of heavy-lift heritage, CH-53E Super Stallion power, and Flying Tigers pride captured in one competition-edition shoulder patch from the 3rd MAW.
HMH-361 traces its roots to February 25, 1952, when it was commissioned as Marine Transport Squadron 361 at MCAS Santa Ana, California. Over the following decades the Flying Tigers flew through Vietnam as one of the first units in country, transitioned through the CH-53A and CH-53D Sea Stallion, and converted to the CH-53E Super Stallion in 1990. Today the squadron operates under Marine Aircraft Group 16 at MCAS Miramar, California, as part of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, carrying out heavy-lift assault support, vertical replenishment, and expeditionary operations across the Indo-Pacific and beyond. The MAW Madness context adds a specific layer of meaning to this patch: MAW Madness is a 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing logo competition in which squadrons submit visual identity reels to represent their unit character, with HMH-361 fielding its Flying Tigers reel in February 2026. That competition spirit makes this shoulder patch a time-stamped piece of 3rd MAW culture, not just a standard squadron insignia. The embroidered construction gives the design the durability and texture expected of a proper military shoulder patch, suited for flight suits, utility uniforms, jackets, gear bags, and display boards alike.
Perfect For: HMH-361 Flying Tigers veterans and active-duty Marines, CH-53E Super Stallion crew members and maintainers, MAG-16 and 3rd MAW alumni, MCAS Miramar collectors, MAW Madness competition followers, Marine aviation historians, shadow box builders, patch panel displays, reunion keepsakes, and anyone assembling a unit-history collection around 3rd MAW heavy-lift heritage. It also makes a meaningful gift for families and supporters who want a specific, researched piece tied to one of the Marine Corps' most storied heavy helicopter squadrons and its ongoing role in expeditionary aviation readiness.
Flying Tigers lineage, stitched for the board, the shadow box, and the long history behind every heavy lift.
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.
