**VMM-164 Full Color Death Dealer Patch — USMC Tiltrotor Squadron Embroidered Patch**
VMM-164 Knightriders — rocking the iconic Death Dealer mascot inspired by Frank Frazetta's legendary painting. If you've earned the right to wear this patch, you know exactly what it means.
VMM-164, the "Knightriders," is a United States Marine Corps tiltrotor squadron operating the MV-22B Osprey out of Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California, under Marine Aircraft Group 39 and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The squadron's Death Dealer mascot draws from the iconic Frank Frazetta fantasy painting — a dark warrior astride a war horse — perfectly capturing the aggressive spirit of a unit with deep combat roots. Originally activated as HMM-164 on July 1, 1964, the Knightriders were the first CH-46 Sea Knight squadron to deploy to Vietnam in March 1966, operating at Marble Mountain and supporting every major operation from Hastings to Meade River. After decades as a training squadron (HMMT-164), the unit transitioned to the MV-22B Osprey in 2015 and has since deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve and operations in the Horn of Africa.
