Officially Licensed USMC VMA-242 Bats Sticker
The Bats — striking from the shadows of Marine attack aviation.
Marine Attack Squadron 242 (VMA-242), the Bats, was part of the Marine Corps' attack aviation community, operating fixed-wing attack aircraft in the close air support and interdiction roles. The Bats' lineage traces through the Marine Corps' evolution from propeller-driven attack aircraft through the jet age, carrying a tradition of precision strike and aggressive ground support that defined Marine attack aviation. The bat mascot reflected the squadron's ability to strike effectively from unexpected angles — emerging from the darkness to deliver ordnance on target. This officially licensed sticker preserves the VMA-242 Bats identity for veterans and collectors of Marine fixed-wing attack squadron heritage.
Perfect For:
VMA-242 Bats veterans, Marine attack aviation community members, Marine fixed-wing squadron collectors, and Marine aviation heritage enthusiasts.
The Bats — emerging from the dark to strike.
