B Co, 2-227 AVN "Blackcats" CH-47F Patch

Heavy lift CH-47F Chinook company patch from B Co, 2-227 AVN — the "Blackcats" of the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade. Texas-flag field with the unit's signature black cat watching over the Lone Star.
Unit History & Context: B Company of the 2nd Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment — better known as the "Blackcats" — flies the CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift helicopter as part of the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, headquartered at Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), Texas. The 2-227 AVN traces its lineage to the original 11th Air Assault Division test unit that pioneered the airmobile concept in 1963, and later distinguished itself with humanitarian relief operations during Hurricane Katrina and Pakistan earthquake response in 2005. The Chinook is the workhorse of Army aviation — moving troops, artillery, and supplies into landing zones that lighter aircraft can't service.
Symbology: The Texas state flag anchors the unit to its 1st Cav Division heritage. The watchful black cat — the Blackcats' namesake mascot — sits over the Lone Star with yellow eyes alert. The longhorn skull silhouette in the white field is a callback to Texas cattle-drive history and the 1st Cavalry's mounted origins.
For Collectors: Standard full-color variant. The 2-227 AVN has multiple company patches; this is the B Co heavy-lift Chinook variant.
