Officially Licensed USMC VMM-164 Knight Riders Shoulder Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 164 Embroidered Patch
Saddle up with the Knight Riders — tiltrotor warriors of the West Coast.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 164 (VMM-164), the "Knight Riders," is a United States Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey squadron based at MCAS Camp Pendleton, California. Assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 39 (MAG-39) under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, VMM-164 carries forward a distinguished legacy that stretches back to its origins as a rotary-wing transport squadron. The Knight Riders have been at the forefront of Marine aviation's transformation from conventional helicopters to the revolutionary tiltrotor platform.
Flying the MV-22B Osprey, VMM-164 provides assault support transport for Marine ground forces, delivering troops, equipment, and supplies with speed and range that far exceed traditional rotary-wing aircraft. The squadron has deployed extensively across the Pacific theater and beyond, supporting Marine Expeditionary Units, bilateral training exercises, and real-world contingency operations. Their distinctive "Flying Death" heritage and knight-themed insignia reflect a warrior ethos that permeates every aspect of their operations.
Perfect For: Marine Osprey crew members and maintainers, VMM-164 veterans, 3rd MAW and MAG-39 alumni, tiltrotor aviation enthusiasts, and military patch collectors who value West Coast Marine air power.
