Officially Licensed USMC VMM-161 Greyhawks Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron MV-22 Osprey Embroidered Patch
The Greyhawks — from Sea Knights over Vietnam to Ospreys over the Pacific, one of the longest-serving medium lift squadrons in the Corps.
VMM-161 “Greyhawks” is a Marine medium tiltrotor squadron operating the MV-22B Osprey out of MCAS Miramar, San Diego, California, under MAG-16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Greyhawks’ lineage begins with their commissioning as HMM-161 on January 15, 1951 — making them one of the first helicopter transport squadrons in the Marine Corps. The squadron pioneered vertical assault doctrine, deployed to Vietnam (flying HUS-1 and CH-46 helicopters), and continued to serve through Desert Storm, Somalia, and the Global War on Terror. VMM-161 transitioned to the Osprey and continues to provide assault support and tiltrotor operations across the Pacific theater.

VMM-161 Greyhawks past and present, MAG-16 and 3rd MAW Marines, MV-22 Osprey aircrew, Marine medium tiltrotor aviation enthusiasts, and USMC squadron patch collectors.
