Heard this as a reference to an '80s stealth aircraft. Never heard of it before.

This rumor originated with a USAF pilot that supposedly flew the
aircraft way back in the late 1980s I believe. He had a mystery patch
similar to the recent "Bird of Prey" one that fueled the speculation.

IIRC, the patch featured a popular cartoon character brandishing a
sword with some form of lightening bolt flashing.

When questioned about the patch and aircraft he said he "couldn't talk
about it, the aircraft was secret".

From what I gather, the Vindicator was/is a single seat stealth strike
aircraft which may/may not have become operational.

No one has heard anything more since that original story.

Hope this helps a little,
