Sheriff Air Support Patch — Order This Mountain & Moon Tabbed Oval
Design S0656A at a glance
An oval with a raised tab at the top for the unit title, built around a night scene: a mountain range under a crescent moon and a single star, framed by laurel branches. The office name runs around the oval and a motto about watching from above closes the bottom. Black, white and gray keep it readable on an olive flight suit or a black aircrew jacket.

About this mountain and moon air support design
Sheriff aviation sections fly most of their missions at night — searches, pursuits, rescues — and this design leans into that with a moonlit ridgeline rather than the usual helicopter silhouette. The tab gives the unit title its own space, the laurel adds a note of honor, and the restrained three-color build stays legible against the dark fabrics aircrew actually wear.
Order it as shown or adapt it: your office name around the oval, your unit title in the tab, your own peaks drawn from the terrain you fly, or a helicopter or fixed-wing silhouette added above the ridge. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Sheriff air support patch questions
Can you add our helicopter to the design?
Yes. Send a photo or the airframe type and we add a clean silhouette above the ridgeline at no art charge.
What goes in the top tab?
Your unit title — air support, aviation, air unit or your own section name — stitched to your exact wording.
What backing do flight crews use?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with flight-suit loop panels and lets crews swap patches between suits and jackets.
Can we get a subdued version?
Yes — the same art stitches in OD green and black for tactical flight wear.
