193d Special Operations Squadron

This page was built for one unit. If you flew or maintained the Herk out of Middletown, this is yours.

The 193d Special Operations Squadron — Pennsylvania Air National Guard — is one of the most storied special operations units in the Air National Guard. EC-130J Commando Solo. MC-130J Commando II. Psychological operations, special operations, and everything in between. The crews at Harrisburg have been keeping the mission moving for decades, and we built gear specifically for them.

HerkyBird Co. was started by a C-130 crew member who spent 25+ years on the aircraft. Every design is checked for accuracy because we know you know the difference. The 193d gear isn't generic aviation stuff with your unit name slapped on it — it's built from scratch for the unit, with the details that matter to the crews who've been there.

Don't see what you need?

If you've got a specific 193d design in mind — a patch you want reproduced, a tail number, a crew name, anything — reach out. We're set up to do custom work and we'd rather get it right than have you settle for something that doesn't represent your unit the way it should.

📧 info@herkybirdco.com — just send us a message and we'll figure it out.
