Official VMFA(AW)-224 Bengals F-18 Hornet Tail Flash Patch — Tiger Stripes on the Tail

The Bengals painted their F/A-18 tails with tiger stripes, and this tail flash patch captures that fierce identity.

Marine Fighter Attack (All-Weather) Squadron 224 (VMFA(AW)-224), the Bengals, operates from MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, under Marine Aircraft Group 31 and 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. This tail flash patch replicates the distinctive Bengal tiger markings that adorn VMFA(AW)-224's F/A-18 Hornet vertical stabilizers. The Bengals specialize in all-weather fighter attack operations, capable of employing precision-guided munitions and conducting air-to-air combat in conditions that would ground lesser squadrons. The tiger stripe tail flash is one of the most recognizable markings in Marine tactical aviation.

Perfect For: VMFA(AW)-224 Bengals pilots and maintainers, F/A-18 Hornet tail flash collectors, MCAS Beaufort personnel, MAG-31 aviators, and Marine fighter aviation enthusiasts.

Bengal stripes on the tail — fear the tiger.
