Official VMFA-121 Green Knights Japan Patch — F-35B Lightning in the Land of the Rising Sun
The Green Knights of VMFA-121 brought the F-35B Lightning II to Japan — the first forward-deployed stealth fighters in the Indo-Pacific.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 (VMFA-121), the Green Knights, are forward-deployed to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, under Marine Aircraft Group 12 and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. This Japan-specific embroidered patch marks VMFA-121's status as the first operational F-35B Lightning II squadron deployed to the Western Pacific. The Green Knights' presence at Iwakuni provides III Marine Expeditionary Force with fifth-generation stealth fighter capability, fundamentally changing the balance of airpower in the region. The squadron's motto "Have Gun Will Travel" takes on new meaning when that gun is the most advanced fighter on the planet.
Perfect For: VMFA-121 Green Knights Japan-based personnel, F-35B Lightning II enthusiasts, MCAS Iwakuni Marines, III MEF aviation supporters, and Marine stealth fighter patch collectors.
Green Knights Japan — stealth power in the Pacific.
