Mysterious USAF squadron patch.

www.thedrive.com...

So yet another thread regarding black world aircraft. However this is one of an official USAF squadron patch of the 117 Alabama ANG. The aircraft depicted could well be the F19A Spectre. It does resemble the many descriptions of the supposed aircraft. The patch originated from 1989 around the time the F19A was supposedly flying.

Could it even be the mystery companion to the F117 Nighthawk or just a simple patch with no real world aircraft to match??

Here's the patch.....for the curious.

Looks like the generic jet from the 90's Aim High logo.

goo.gl...

I'm wearing a 90'shirt Aim High shirt right now, oddly.

The article also has the official unit description of the patch and what each elements depicts.

I love these patches and the Symbology however, there is always the danger of misinterpretation or over etc.

Our basic understanding of stealth show that the F-19 Frisbee (as Clancy called it in RSR) depicted above contains a multitude of RCS sins as it were.

Its still a cool patch though

That's always a big problem. Especially with something that we really want to see, such as the companion. It's really easy to read a lot into these, and it's fun to try to figure them out, but it's not always as straightforward as it appears.

Or, they're sitting at their offices reading sites like this about their patch laughing their asses off. That's also a real possibility.

I just have to comment that whatever it is it appears to be doing its thing to The United States.

On the patch, I mean...

Doesn't mean much. They used to process the wet film in the US, now they operate UAVs from the US.

Id say the front canards are right.

Interesting for sure. A lot of tho as well special mission patches floating around.

That's a pretty cool patch. I thought we should have kept unit patches but the powers that be decided otherwise.

And the satellite is beaming the information to Newfoundland, southern Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil.

They are probably trolling us with the patches.

bastards.

Wouldn't be the first time. "Tastes Like Chicken" comes to mind.

Looks like an F19 but the outfit is an intelligence
group so probably not. Unless it's called
Aunt Aurora's Gray Ghost.

So, in essence, it is "neigbourhood watch" through satellite, and internal security through mysterious plane.
It is truly amazing how much you can learn by overanalyzing a patch.

On a more serious note though, I guess it would be "bad form" and not very politically correct to have the globe show Asia or Russia, if the plane would happen to do its thing more over there than at home.

People tend to be fairly tolerant of satellites flying over, but tend to become rather pesky when it is an aeroplane.

Although it sorta makes sense to me. They are hardly going to put an RQ-180 in there are they, so lets stick something in that is fictitious. Imagine the meltdown that would happen on here if an RQ-180 was thrown in

Let's be real, we know they do this all around! I bet they even send links to each other and what not.

And on topic, it looks like they cover the Americas, there aint a picture of the globe.

The original was even better. Someone sure didn't like that one

I think I have even a copy of that one lying around somewhere.
