- Back to: References to Sonic.
The following is a list of references to Sonic in militaries. As one of pop culture's most recognizable icons, facets of the world's various militaries occasionally reference Sonic the Hedgehog, often adapting its characters to serve as mascots for individual detachments.
Vehicles
Badge | Country | Type | Squadron | Detachment | Aircraft | Date | Description | Images |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
United Kingdom | Navy | 815 Naval Air Squadron | HMS Amazon (F169)[1][2] | Sonic & Tails[3] | 1993-06-23[3] | A Westland Lynx HAS3CTS dressed in the colors of Sonic the Hedgehog on the starboard side and in the colors of Miles "Tails" Prower on the port side.[4] | ||
Portugal | Air Force | Portuguese Air Force Academy (AFA) | N/A | N/A | 2003-2008[5][6] | |||
Portugal | Navy | Navy's Helicopter Squadron (EHM) | NRP Álvares Cabral (F331)[7][8][9] | Sonic Flight[10][11][12] | 2006-2008[11][13] | A Westland Super Lynx Mk.95 dressed with custom artwork of Sonic the Hedgehog alongside the motto "No Regrets", truncated from the full "...I've got no regrets".[14] This motto also appears on the official formation patch[15] alongside edited artwork from Sonic Adventure[16] (recolored to the Flag of Portugal), seen being worn by notable Sonic Flight pilots like frigate captain Mónica Alexandra Pereira Martins.[17][18][19] |
