Product Description

VMFA-533 Hawks Tab Patches — Embroidered Patch

Banzai — VMFA-533 Hawks Tab Patch

The Hawks of VMFA-533 fly the F-35B Lightning II — the most advanced short takeoff/vertical landing strike fighter ever built — and this tab patch represents the squadron identity worn by the Marines who take the fight to the enemy at the speed of sound. Banzai.

Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 533 (VMFA-533), the Hawks, is based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, under Marine Aircraft Group 31 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Hawks transitioned to the F-35B Lightning II, bringing fifth-generation stealth, sensor fusion, and precision strike capability to the Marine Corps' East Coast fighter community. The F-35B's ability to operate from austere airfields, amphibious assault ships, and allied bases makes it a cornerstone of the Marine Corps' expeditionary aviation strategy. VMFA-533 maintains readiness to deploy as part of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force, providing close air support, offensive and defensive counter-air, and deep strike capabilities to the Marine Expeditionary Force. The Hawks' tab patch is a compact identifier worn as a subdued squadron designation.

Perfect For: VMFA-533 Hawks personnel, F-35B Lightning II enthusiasts, MCAS Beaufort Marines, 2nd MAW aviators, and anyone who carries the Hawks' identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
