Product Description

**US Border Patrol Air Operations "Politically Correct" Patch**

They changed the patch, but they didn't change the mission. This is the updated "politically correct" version of the Border Patrol Air Operations patch—and the name says everything about how the crews feel about the redesign.

When the original "Running Man" Border Patrol Air Operations patch was updated, the agents who flew the mission had opinions. This version—nicknamed the "Politically Correct" patch—represents the redesigned insignia while acknowledging the culture of the crews who preferred the original. It's a piece of law enforcement aviation history with a story behind it.

• **Type:** Embroidered patch with updated Air Operations design
• **Backing:** Hook & loop (Velcro) for flight suits and tactical gear
• **Durability:** Dense stitching for operational and display use
• **Detail:** Redesigned BP Air Operations artwork with cultural context
• **Application:** Flight jackets, gear bags, patch collections, display frames

**Perfect For:** Border Patrol air crews, CBP aviation personnel, law enforcement aviation collectors, and anyone who collects both versions of the Air Ops 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.
