Officially Licensed US Navy VA-164 Ghost Riders Patch — Attack Squadron 164 Ghost Riders Embroidered Patch
The Ghost Riders — VA-164, one of the most combat-experienced A-4 Skyhawk squadrons in Navy history, riding into the most heavily defended skies over Vietnam.
Attack Squadron 164 (VA-164), the "Ghost Riders," was a U.S. Navy carrier-based attack squadron with one of the most distinguished combat records of the Vietnam War. Operating the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, the Ghost Riders flew hundreds of combat missions over North and South Vietnam from the flight decks of aircraft carriers on Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin. VA-164's pilots struck targets including the heavily defended Thanh Hoa Bridge, Hanoi-area industrial complexes, and enemy supply lines along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
The Ghost Riders earned their reputation the hardest way possible — through sustained combat operations in the most dangerous airspace in the world. North Vietnam's integrated air defense system was one of the most sophisticated in history, combining MiG interceptors, surface-to-air missiles (SA-2 Guidelines), and some of the densest anti-aircraft artillery concentrations ever assembled. VA-164's A-4 pilots pressed their attacks into this hellstorm day after day, suffering losses but never flinching from the mission.
VA-164's legacy is inseparable from the Vietnam War's air campaign, and the Ghost Riders are remembered as one of the squadrons that bore the heaviest burden of the Navy's air war. This officially licensed patch preserves the memory of the Ghost Riders and the extraordinary courage of the men who flew and fought under their banner.
Perfect For: VA-164 Ghost Riders veterans and families, A-4 Skyhawk community members, Vietnam War naval aviators, carrier attack aviation historians, and Navy heritage patch collectors.
VA-164 Ghost Riders — riding through the flak, the SAMs, and the MiGs — ghosts that struck fear in the enemy and never gave an inch.
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.
