But then of course there is a lot going on at TTR, and it seems unlikely that all the recent construction works were for the F117A. So something is probably going on there…
Based on the pictures taken from the air about a year ago I would guess that there’s a spooky semi operational drone based at TTR (but probably not the RQ-180 as the hangars are to small for it’s reported wingspan).
Perhaps Quellish has an idea?
It is a very nice theory, but there is one problem: if they want the F117A to act as a cover for a classified program, it isn’t working. The F117A operations are attracting way to much attention if you want to keep something under wraps.What was the other patch associated with Col Joe Lanni?It was one of two patches associated with Col Joe Lanni
I wondered at the time whether the F-117A might be serving the Dark Knights in a similar capacity to that of the A-7s assigned to the earlier 4450th Tactical Group at TTR. Back when the F-117A was still classified, the A-7s provided both a plausible cover story for the existence of the 4450th and a platform for daytime proficiency flying. Those A-7s also served in a variety of unclassified mission support roles including flying chase for cruise missile testing. Now, the F-117A is providing support in a "Red Air" capacity. This is happening in a very visible way, and attracting a great deal of attention. Is it distracting us from something else? I don't have the answers but it is interesting to ponder.
