Product Description

**Original US Border Patrol Air Operations "Running Man" Patch**

The Running Man. If you've been in Border Patrol, you know this silhouette. It's the original Air Operations patch—before the redesigns, before the political corrections. This is the one that started it all.

U.S. Border Patrol Air Operations provides aerial surveillance, tracking, and interdiction support along America's borders. The "Running Man" patch features the iconic silhouette that became synonymous with Border Patrol aviation—a symbol of the mission that air crews fly every day, tracking movement across some of the most rugged and remote terrain in the country.

• **Type:** Embroidered patch with classic Running Man design
• **Backing:** Hook & loop (Velcro) for flight suits and tactical gear
• **Durability:** Dense, color-fast stitching for lasting quality
• **Detail:** Original-issue Running Man silhouette artwork
• **Application:** Flight jackets, tactical vests, shadow boxes, collector displays

**Perfect For:** Border Patrol pilots and air crews, CBP Air Operations veterans, federal law enforcement aviation collectors, and anyone who remembers the original patch.

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.
