Officially Licensed USMC VMFA(AW)-332 Moonlighters Patch — Marine Reserve All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 332 Embroidered Patch
The Moonlighters — VMFA(AW)-332's Reserve all-weather fighter attack legacy.
VMFA(AW)-332 "Moonlighters" was a Marine Reserve all-weather fighter attack squadron that embodied the dual commitment of Reserve Marines — civilian professionals by day, combat aviators by night and on weekends. The Moonlighters operated the F/A-18A/D Hornet and specialized in night and all-weather combat operations, maintaining the same tactical proficiency as active-duty counterparts. The name was perfectly apt for a Reserve squadron — Marines who literally moonlighted as fighter pilots while holding civilian careers in aviation, law, engineering, and other professions. VMFA(AW)-332 could be called up and deployed alongside active-duty squadrons, providing surge capacity when the nation needed it most.
Perfect For:
VMFA(AW)-332 Moonlighters veterans, Marine Reserve aviation community, F/A-18 Hornet Reserve squadrons, Reserve fighter attack collectors, and part-time warrior patch enthusiasts.
