Honor a unique chapter in Honduran military aviation history with this reproduction of the Super Mystère B.2 (SMB-II) Fighter-Bomber Squadron insignia of the Fuerza Aérea Hondureña (FAH). The emblem features the squadron’s distinctive Indigenous warrior mascot riding a stylized Super Mystère aircraft while drawing a bow, symbolizing courage, aggression, and precision in combat. The red scroll below bears the squadron’s motto, “Morir Combatiendo” (“Die Fighting”), reflecting the unit’s fighting spirit.
The Dassault Super Mystère B.2 entered Honduran service in 1976 after acquisition from Israel, becoming the country’s first supersonic combat aircraft. These fighters served for nearly two decades, providing air defense and ground attack capabilities before their retirement in the 1990s. This patch commemorates the squadron that operated these historic aircraft during one of the most significant periods in Honduran Air Force history.
Faithfully recreated from the historic insignia, this embroidered patch is ideal for collectors of Cold War aviation, Latin American military memorabilia, and Honduran Air Force history.

Historical Context
The Dassault Super Mystère B.2 was France’s first operational supersonic fighter and later served with the Israeli Air Force before a number of upgraded aircraft were transferred to Honduras. Operated by the Honduran Air Force from 1976 through the 1990s, the Super Mystère fleet represented a major advancement in the country’s air combat capability. The SMB-II Squadron adopted the memorable “Morir Combatiendo” emblem featuring an Indigenous warrior, creating one of the most recognizable pieces of squadron insignia in Honduran military aviation.
