Desert Prowler has a patch. You should treat yourself to a nice Christmas present and get Trevor Paglen's patches book. Speaking of patches, what I call "mdnight tanker supply" should be showing up after the Mission Employment phase is over. There is a patch in the book for the guys that tank up the secret birds. Of course, if they are testing UAVs, then maybe no midnight tanker flights. The last two weeks of December and the last two weeks of June has no NFWS activity, so what you hear on the scanner is most likely Groom Lake or the TTR. Supposedly in theatre, you don't run planes that are not approved. If I had to make a guess, I would assume Lockheed is testing the plane in the field. Coordinated with DoD for sure, but probably not operational. Like the blogger hints, there is no need to be stealthy when the enemy doesn't have any radar let alone aircraft.
