Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 264 (VMM-264), the Black Knights, transition ed to the MV-22B Osprey as part of the Marine Corps' ongoing modernization of its assault support helicopter fleet.

This PVC patch recognizes the original airframes Marines who built the Black Knights' Osprey program from the ground up.
