Official MALS-26 Patriots Flightline Qual Patches — Qualified to Keep Them Flying

Because those birds don't fix themselves, and the Patriots have the receipts.

MALS-26, the Patriots, have been providing aviation logistics support to the squadrons of Marine Aircraft Group 26 since 1952 out of MCAS New River, North Carolina. As part of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, MALS-26 is the backbone that keeps every rotor turning and every airframe mission-capable. From deploying in support of Operation Sharp Edge in Liberia to keeping the entire MAG running during Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, the Patriots have earned multiple Navy Unit Commendations and been named MALS of the Year for 2nd MAW four times. These flightline qual patches recognize the maintainers, avionics techs, ordnance Marines, and supply warriors who earn their keep on the line every single day.

Perfect For: MALS-26 Patriots past and present, MAG-26 maintenance Marines, MCAS New River flightline crew, and anyone who knows the aircraft doesn't fly without the wrench turners.
