Authentic VMA-231 ‘Ace of Spades’ patch honoring the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s elite VTOL Outlaws aviation squadron

Description

Official VMA-231 Ace of Spades 26th MEU Last of the VTOL Outlaws Patch — Final Flight of the Harrier Outlaws

The Ace of Spades played their last hand with the Harrier — and they went out swinging from the 26th MEU.

Marine Attack Squadron 231, the Ace of Spades, made history as one of the last AV-8B Harrier squadrons to deploy with a Marine Expeditionary Unit. This patch commemorates their deployment with the 26th MEU as the “Last of the VTOL Outlaws,” marking the end of an era for the vertical/short takeoff and landing attack mission that defined Marine close air support for decades. VMA-231 carried the Harrier’s legacy into its final operational chapter, proving that the jump jet remained a lethal and relevant weapons system until the very end.

Perfect For: VMA-231 veterans, AV-8B Harrier enthusiasts, 26th MEU alumni, and collectors of end-of-era aviation patches.

The Outlaws played their last card — and it was an Ace.
