Officially Licensed USMC VMM-264 Black Knights Throwback Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 264 Throwback Embroidered Patch
Black Knights ride again — VMM-264's throwback heritage patch.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 264 (VMM-264), the "Black Knights," is a United States Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey squadron based at MCAS New River, North Carolina. Assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 26 (MAG-26) under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and II Marine Expeditionary Force, the Black Knights provide assault support transport of combat troops, supplies, and equipment for Marine ground forces. This throwback patch reaches into VMM-264's deep heritage, honoring the earlier design and identity that defined the squadron during its previous airframe eras.
Throwback patches are treasured in the military aviation community because they connect a squadron's current generation to the pilots, crew chiefs, and maintainers who built the unit's reputation in earlier decades. VMM-264's Black Knights have served with distinction through multiple aircraft transitions — from the CH-46 Sea Knight through the MV-22B Osprey — and this throwback design preserves the visual identity from one of those formative chapters. Officially licensed, this patch meets squadron standards for heritage accuracy and is authorized for wear and collection.
Perfect For: VMM-264 Black Knights veterans and active-duty members, Marine tiltrotor community supporters, CH-46 era alumni, throwback and heritage patch collectors, MAG-26 and 2nd MAW personnel, and anyone who appreciates the full history of Marine aviation squadrons.
Black Knights legacy — VMM-264's heritage rides on.
