Official HMH-464 Condors CH-53E Lucky EN Shoulder Patch - Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464 (HMH-464) Condors CH-53E Super Stallion tail code EN embroidered shoulder patch.
Condors heavy lift identity, Desert Storm combat record, and the EN tail code that marks every Super Stallion that has ever carried the squadron's name.
HMH-464 was activated at MCAS New River on 1 March 1981 as the first Marine Corps squadron tasked to receive and introduce the CH-53E Super Stallion to the Fleet Marine Force, a distinction that set the Condors apart from the very beginning of the modern heavy-lift era. Assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 29 under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, the squadron's core mission is assault support transport of heavy weapons, equipment, and supplies during expeditionary, joint, and combined operations. That mission has been tested in combat repeatedly. During Operation Desert Storm the Condors flew 304 combat sorties and delivered more than two million pounds of cargo in support of First Division Marines. In 1995 a Condors detachment executed the TRAP mission that pulled downed Air Force pilot Captain Scott O'Grady from Bosnia. In 2011 the squadron deployed to Afghanistan, executing 166 named operations missions alongside 23 different U.S. and coalition forces while carrying over six million pounds of cargo. The Lucky EN shoulder patch ties directly to that operational identity, marking the aircraft, the crews, and the maintainers who kept the Super Stallions flying through every deployment.
Perfect For: HMH-464 veterans, CH-53E Super Stallion aircrew and maintainers, Condors alumni, MAG-29 and 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing collectors, Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom commemorators, Marine heavy-lift enthusiasts, shadow box builders, deployment keepsake displays, reunion gifts, and anyone assembling a serious East Coast Marine aviation patch collection around MCAS New River squadrons and assault support heritage.
Condors lineage, EN tail code, and four decades of heavy lift stitched into one shoulder patch.
