USMC VMM-263 Thunder Chickens 2021 Official Squadron Patch

Description

Officially Licensed USMC VMM-263 Thunder Chickens 2021 Squadron Patch — The Thunder Never Stops

You don’t get a name like Thunder Chickens by being quiet.

VMM-263 “Thunder Chickens” is a Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron flying the MV-22B Osprey out of MCAS New River, North Carolina, under MAG-26 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Thunder Chickens are one of the East Coast’s premier Osprey squadrons, regularly deploying as the Aviation Combat Element for Marine Expeditionary Units and providing assault support across the full spectrum of MAGTF operations. The squadron has supported operations from the Mediterranean to the Middle East, and their reinforced configuration (REIN) means they deploy with a full complement of attached helicopter, tiltrotor, and attack assets. This 2021 squadron patch captures the Thunder Chickens at the height of their operational tempo, representing another year of deployments, training exercises, and maintaining the readiness that the Marine Corps demands. The name might sound funny, but there’s nothing funny about what they do.

Perfect For: VMM-263 Thunder Chickens Marines and veterans, MV-22 Osprey community, MCAS New River tiltrotor squadrons, MAG-26 and 2nd MAW personnel, MEU aviation veterans, and anyone who has heard the Thunder Chickens’ rotors spinning up on the flight line.
