USMC UH-1E Huey Gunship Commemorative Velcro Patch

Description

Officially Licensed USMC UH-1E Huey Gunship Commemorative Patch

Created by the Skid Kids — a tribute from the community that flew it.

The UH-1E Huey gunship was the Marine Corps’ first dedicated armed helicopter, turning the versatile Huey airframe into a weapons platform that provided essential fire support during the Vietnam War and beyond. Marine UH-1E gunships flew escort missions for troop transport helicopters, suppressed enemy fire during landings, and conducted armed reconnaissance across the Vietnamese countryside. This commemorative patch was created by the “Skid Kids” — the tight-knit community of Marine pilots and crew who flew skid-equipped helicopters (UH-1 and AH-1 variants) and built a brotherhood forged in combat. This officially licensed patch honors both the aircraft and the Marines who made the Huey gunship a force to be reckoned with.

Perfect For:
UH-1E crews and veterans, Skid Kids community members, Marine light attack helicopter personnel, Popasmoke enthusiasts, and Marine aviation commemorative collectors.

From the Skid Kids — honoring the gunship that started it all.
