USMC AH-1 Cobra Hours Patch

USMC AH-1 Cobra Hours Patch — Time in the Snake, Measured in Hours

Every hour in the Cobra was spent running hot, shooting straight, and covering Marines on the ground.

The AH-1 Cobra family has been the backbone of Marine Corps attack aviation for decades, from the single-engine AH-1G through the twin-engine AH-1W Super Cobra. Flight hours in the Cobra represent extensive combat and training experience in one of the most legendary attack helicopters ever built. Cobra pilots logged their hours hunting targets, escorting troop transports, and delivering precision fires in support of ground forces across every major Marine Corps operation since Vietnam. This hours patch recognizes the aviators who built their careers in the cockpit of the Snake.

Perfect For: AH-1 Cobra veterans across all variants, Marine attack helicopter pilots, HMLA squadron alumni, and flight hour milestone collectors.

Hours in the Snake aren't just logged — they're earned at low level with ordnance hot.
