Official MCAS New River ATC Patch — Controlling the Busiest Rotary-Wing Airspace in the Corps Towers, approaches, departures — and every single one of them is a helicopter. MCAS Ne w River is the Marine Corps' premier East Coast rotary-wing and tiltrotor air station, home to multiple MV-22B Osprey, CH-53E Super Stallion, AH-1Z Viper, and UH-1Y Venom squadrons under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Air Traffic Control facility at New River manages some of the busiest and most complex helicopter traffic patterns in the entire military — coordinating simultaneous operations for training flights, formation departures, instrument approaches, and tactical exercises all happening at once. The radar sweep on this patch is glow-in-the-dark thread — a fitting detail for controllers who often work under the green glow of radar screens long after the sun goes down. If you've ever talked to New River tower or approach, you know these controllers are the best in the business. Perfect For: MCAS New River air traffic controllers, Marine ATC professionals (MOS 7257), 2nd MAW rotary-wing and tiltrotor squadrons, Jacksonville/Camp Lejeune-area Marines, Marine Corps aviation community, and anyone who has heard "New River Tower" on the radio. MCAS New River ATC — where every blip on the scope is a Marine aircraft. Show more
