Banzai — VMFA-533 Hawks Tab Patch
The Hawks of VMFA-533 fly the F-35B Lightning II — the most advanced short takeoff/vertical landing strike fighter ever built — and this tab patch represents the squadron identity worn by the Marines who take the fight to the enemy at the speed of sound. Banzai.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 533 (VMFA-533), the Hawks, is based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, under Marine Aircraft Group 31 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Hawks transitioned to the F-35B Lightning II, bringing fifth-generation stealth, sensor fusion, and precision strike capability to the Marine Corps’ East Coast fighter community. The F-35B’s ability to operate from austere airfields, amphibious assault ships, and allied bases makes it a cornerstone of the Marine Corps’ expeditionary aviation strategy. VMFA-533 maintains readiness to deploy as part of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force, providing close air support, offensive and defensive counter-air, and deep strike capabilities to the Marine Expeditionary Force. The Hawks’ tab patch is a compact identifier worn as a subdued squadron designation.
Perfect For: VMFA-533 Hawks personnel, F-35B Lightning II enthusiasts, MCAS Beaufort Marines, 2nd MAW aviators, and anyone who carries the Hawks’ identity.
