Officially Licensed USMC VMM-266 Fighting Griffins Woven Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron MV-22 Osprey Embroidered Patch
The Fighting Griffins — East Coast Osprey warriors carrying Marines into the fight from MCAS New River.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 (VMM-266), the "Fighting Griffins," operates the MV-22B Osprey out of MCAS New River, North Carolina, under Marine Aircraft Group 26 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Fighting Griffins provide assault support transport of combat troops, supplies, and equipment during expeditionary, joint, and combined operations — delivering Marines faster and farther than any rotary-wing aircraft in history. The MV-22B Osprey's unique tiltrotor design allows it to take off and land like a helicopter while cruising at fixed-wing speeds, giving the MAGTF commander an assault support capability that fundamentally changed how the Marine Corps projects power from ship to shore.
VMM-266 traces its lineage through decades of Marine medium helicopter operations, carrying forward the traditions built during the CH-46 Sea Knight era into the tiltrotor age. The Fighting Griffins have deployed aboard amphibious ships with Marine Expeditionary Units and supported operations across multiple theaters, maintaining the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing's reputation for combat-ready aviation. This woven patch variant captures the squadron's distinctive Griffin insignia in a textured, durable format that stands out from standard embroidered patches.
Perfect For:
VMM-266 Fighting Griffins members and veterans, MV-22 Osprey crews, MAG-26 personnel, 2nd MAW Marines, MCAS New River community, and Marine tiltrotor aviation patch collectors.
Fighting Griffins. Osprey strong.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
