Official VMFA-121 Green Knights F-35 Shoulder Patch — The First Operational F-35B Squadron
The Green Knights of VMFA-121 made history as the first operational F-35B Lightning II squadron in the world.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 (VMFA-121), the Green Knights, operates the F-35B Lightning II from MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, under MAG-12 and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. This F-35 shoulder patch celebrates VMFA-121's historic distinction as the first operational squadron to receive and deploy the F-35B — the Marine Corps' fifth-generation stealth fighter with short takeoff and vertical landing capability. The Green Knights' motto "Have Gun Will Travel" has never been more relevant, as they bring stealth, advanced sensors, and networked warfare capability to the forward-deployed fight in the Indo-Pacific.
Perfect For: VMFA-121 Green Knights personnel, F-35B Lightning II enthusiasts, MCAS Iwakuni Marines, Marine stealth fighter fans, and USMC F-35 shoulder patch collectors.
Green Knights — first in the F-35, first in the fight.
