Officially Licensed USMC VMFA(AW)-225 Vikings Patch — Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 225 Embroidered Patch
The Vikings — VMFA(AW)-225's all-weather night attack with the F/A-18D Hornet.
VMFA(AW)-225 "Vikings" is a Marine all-weather fighter attack squadron operating the F/A-18D Hornet in the demanding night and adverse weather mission set. The Viking identity speaks to the squadron's warrior ethos — raiding from the sea with swift, overwhelming force. The two-seat Hornet enables advanced sensor management, forward air control (airborne), and precision night attack capabilities. VMFA(AW)-225 trains constantly for the most challenging tactical scenarios: night close air support in mountainous terrain, adverse weather strike missions, and deep air support behind enemy lines. The two-seat Hornet allows the Vikings to serve as airborne forward air controllers, directing other strike aircraft onto targets.
Perfect For:
VMFA(AW)-225 Vikings veterans, F/A-18D Hornet community, Marine all-weather fighter attack aviation, FAC(A) community, night attack enthusiasts, and USMC all-weather squadron patch collectors.
Vikings. VMFA(AW)-225. Through the storm.
