Extremely Rare B-21 Raider \"First Flight Crew\" Commemorative Morale Patch
Up for sale is an incredibly scarce piece of modern aerospace history. This patch was produced to commemorate the highly anticipated first flight of the United States Air Force\'s newest sixth-generation stealth platform: the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider.
First flight and developmental test crew patches for heavily classified, low observable (LO) assets are notoriously difficult to source and rarely make it to the public market. This is a holy grail item for serious collectors of Black Projects, experimental flight test memorabilia, and advanced aeronautical programs.
Design & Condition:
As shown in the reference photo the patch features a contoured hourglass shield design. The deep black background is flanked by a highly visible, contrasting orange border. Bold orange embroidery reads \"FIRST FLIGHT CREW\" across the top and \"B-21 RAIDER\" across the bottom. The center features a striking, luminescent-green stylized \"21\" surrounded by abstract, sweeping geometries and orange starbursts.
* Condition: Mint, unused condition with clean stitching and no fraying.
* Size: Please reference the two US quarters in the provided image to gauge the exact scale (approximately 3.5 to 4 inches tall).* Backing: Standard Velcro backing.Items from milestone test flights out of Plant 42 and Edwards AFB appreciate significantly over time, especially as the B-21 transitions further into its operational lifecycle. Do not miss the opportunity to add this exceptional piece of aviation history to your collection.Search Keywords / Tags:
