    USAF AIR FORCE AREA 51 BLACK OPS BIRD OF PREY McDONNELL DOUGLAS PATCH NEW
    Description:
    The Bird of Prey was a highly classified technology demonstrator that first flew at Groom Lake in 1996. Built by a secretive division of McDonnell Douglas (later acquired by Boeing) known as the "Phantom Works", the aircraft was flown by Boeing pilots Rudy Haug and Joe Felock. Doug Benjamin of the secret Special Projects Flight Test Squadron was the only Air Force pilot to fly the aircraft.
    Although the shape of the plane was secret in 1996, the Bird of Prey patch contained an important clue. When Boeing declassified the Bird of Prey's existence in 2002, it became obvious that the handle of the sword was essentially the same shape as the aircraft. This distinctive sword has since become incorporated into the symbolism of the Special Projects Flight Test Squadron.
    This brand new patch is 4" in length, 2 3/4" in width and features a plastic backing.
    This patch comes from the recently published book
    "I Could Tell You Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me."
