Officially Licensed USMC OV-10 Bronco Commemorative Patch
The Bronco earned its wings in the toughest skies — this patch keeps the memory alive.
The OV-10 Bronco was purpose-built for the missions that no other aircraft wanted — low-altitude, close-in observation and light attack in the most dangerous airspace over the battlefield. Marine Observation Squadrons (VMO) flew the Bronco from Vietnam through Operation Desert Storm, conducting forward air control, artillery adjustment, armed reconnaissance, and helicopter escort missions that put the crew directly over the fight. The Bronco's twin-boom design, exceptional low-speed handling, and ability to carry a variety of ordnance made it uniquely suited to the Marine Corps' close-in support philosophy. This officially licensed commemorative patch honors the OV-10 and the VMO aviators who strapped into it knowing they'd be flying low and slow into harm's way.
Perfect For:
OV-10 Bronco aircrew, VMO squadron veterans, Marine forward air controllers, Marine observation aviation enthusiasts, and collectors of Marine Corps fixed-wing commemorative insignia.
Built for the fight below the treetops.
