M Co, 158th AVN REGT "Raptors — Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
M Co, 158th AVN "Raptors" maintenance patch — winged skull with crossed wrenches and the AC/DC-inspired "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" tagline.
Unit History & Context: Mike Company of the 158th Aviation Regiment — the "Raptors" — is an Aviation Unit Maintenance (AVUM) company. The "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" tagline borrows from the AC/DC song of the same name — long a favorite anthem of mechanics, crew chiefs, and maintainers across military aviation. The Raptors get the airframes mission-ready regardless of conditions, hours, or weather.
Symbology: Winged skull wearing a black beret (Army Aviation black beret), crossed mechanic's wrenches below, red circular field, and the "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" / "Raptors" banners. Yellow rocker accents.
For Collectors: Maintenance unit patches with strong graphic identity are popular with both unit veterans and aviation maintenance collectors. The musical reference is a long-running maintainer cultural touchstone.
