Description

VMM-163 Lost Boys Det Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 163 Ridge Runners Lost Boys Detachment Embroidered Patch

Lost Boys — VMM-163’s detachment that never grows up.

This VMM-163 “Ridge Runners” Lost Boys Det patch identifies a specific detachment from the squadron, branded with the Peter Pan-inspired “Lost Boys” identity. In Marine aviation, detachments (DETs) often adopt their own unique identities and patches separate from the parent squadron, creating a sense of identity and camaraderie among the small group of Marines and aircraft operating independently.

VMM-163 operates the MV-22B Osprey from MCAS Miramar, California, and regularly sends detachments to support MEU deployments, exercises, and operational taskings around the world. The Lost Boys DET name evokes the spirit of a small band of adventurers operating on their own, far from the parent squadron’s oversight — a fitting description of any aviation detachment that deploys independently. DET patches are among the most collectible items in military aviation because they represent specific operational experiences shared by a small group of people, making each one unique and personal.

This patch identifies VMM-163’s Lost Boys detachment.

Perfect For: VMM-163 Ridge Runners DET members, MV-22 Osprey detachment personnel, Lost Boys DET veterans, and detachment patch collectors.
