MH Aviation in Lancaster, CA is known to provide chase for UAV's out of Palmdale in a Beech B-55 "Baron". The attached image was posted on their Facebook page with the note: "We're so thankful for the relationships we have in this town. Thanks to our friends at @lockheedmartin for this thoughtful, unique gift! We truly appreciate it and all you guys do!" There are some interesting symbols going on here: - The "Red Baron" skunk in the patch is sitting on a Beech "Baron" looking like a toilet. Not sure what to make of that. - The skunk is holding a shape similar to what we recently saw and believe to possibly be the RQ-180. - The Beemans Chewing Gum may be a nod to Chuck Yeager who famously chewed it - The 452nd FLTS patch says "vigilance is the price of freedom" - The other coin says "Edwards AFB – Home of the Sonic Boom" with a Bell X-1, the first aircraft to break the sound barrier, piloted by Chuck Yeager - The wooden frame looks more like a B-2, obviously not a Lockheed project. Another UAV project?
