The unit flew combat missions in Vietnam, participated in Operation Frequent Wind during the 1975 evacuation of Saigon, and transitioned from the CH-46E Sea Knight to the MV-22B Osprey in 2013. Since then, the Flying Tigers have answered real-world calls across the Pacific, deploying Ospreys to the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan and self-deploying from Okinawa to Kathmandu for Nepal earthquake relief during Operation SAHAYOGI HAAT. The MV-22B at the center of this sticker is no ordinary aircraft — it carries 24 Marines with full combat load across a 325-nautical-mile combat radius, blending helicopter agility with turboprop speed. The Fat Osprey nickname captures that distinctive wide-body silhouette with affection, the kind of insider shorthand that only aircrew, maintainers, and close supporters recognize. Printed on durable vinyl, this sticker holds up on flight cases, water bottles, toolboxes, laptops, and vehicle windows without losing the sharp unit character that makes Marine aviation collectibles worth keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: VMM-262 Flying Tigers veterans and alumni, MV-22B Osprey aircrew and maintainers, MAG-36 and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing supporters, MCAS Futenma station families, Marine aviation collectors, deployment keepsake displays, gear bags, flight cases, vehicle windows, shadow box borders, and anyone building a unit-history collection around forward-deployed Indo-Pacific assault support. It also makes a meaningful gift for supporters who want a piece tied to real humanitarian missions, Pacific readiness, and the Marines who move troops and cargo when timing and lift matter most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlying Tigers heritage, stuck fast — from Futenma to wherever the mission lands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45466875035757,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_39_5bf7f6e3-2f0d-4364-8bc3-069f99a3b05d.png?v=1784215415","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-vmm-262-fat-osprey-sticker","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
