Official VMFA-121 Green Knights Caballeros Verde PVC Patch — Los Caballeros de la Noche
Fifth-gen stealth fighters with first-gen swagger. En español, por favor.
VMFA-121 "Green Knights" — or in this case, "Caballeros Verde" — represents the Marine Corps' tip of the spear in fifth-generation aviation. Based at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan under MAG-12 and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, the Green Knights operate the F-35B Lightning II with the callsign "Combat." The squadron's history stretches back to 1941 when they fought in the skies over Guadalcanal as part of the Cactus Air Force. From Corsairs and Skyhawks in the Pacific to A-6 Intruders and F/A-18D Hornets in Desert Storm — where they flew more combat hours than any other Navy or Marine tactical jet squadron — the Green Knights have always been at the front of the fight. They became the first operational F-35B squadron in 2012 and the first permanently forward-deployed fifth-gen unit when they moved to Iwakuni in 2017. This "Caballeros Verde" PVC patch puts a bilingual spin on the legendary squadron, because the Green Knights' reputation is international.
Perfect For: VMFA-121 Green Knights Marines and fans, F-35B Lightning II enthusiasts, MCAS Iwakuni personnel, Cactus Air Force history buffs, and anyone who knows "Combat" is both a callsign and a lifestyle.
Caballeros Verde — fifth-gen knights, worldwide reputation.
