RARE- BLACK OPS MILITARY PATCH

"Built by Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, the Vindicator system was a highly classified project (rumored to be “more secret than the F-117A,” the stealth fighter program) from the 1980s. This patch includes the Lockheed Advanced Development Projects’ skunk mascot wearing a helmet and scarf. The patch depicts a laser anemometer optical air data system, which takes the place of conventional pitot-static probes on stealth or high-speed aircraft where physical protrusions are undesirable. The device is a velocity indicator (or, in aviation parlance, a v-indicator)."
