F-117A with "ED" tail code - What is the squadron/unit crest ?

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

I am building Aircraft 782 as it was painted a little over a year ago with the US flag covering its undersurface. I am doing this without specific decal/masking sheets I know to be available for this subject. I figured the Italeri 1/72 kit which I am using for this subject being not quite up to scratch didn’t warrant the additional expense. I figured that masking, painting and the individual placement of around 50 white stars from a previous Superscale F-1117 decal sheet I had would do the job. I am making my own decals (inkjet printer) for the fin serial numbers, but from any photos of 782 I have been able to find on the web, I have been unable to confirm the USAF squadron/unit crest that is located at the top of the fin.

Can anyone give me some clues on this please? Any assistance gratefully appreciated.

Thanks Phil,

I had found the urls you posted myself previously. Not sure that the patches on the 410th FTS page are what I am after. Maybe someone can give me a clue if they have the Cutting Edge decal sheet that provides the markings for this subject.

This URL give you an idea what I am looking for.

Maybe near enough will be good enough for 1/72 scale ?

I’m fairly certain that’s the code for Edwards AFB. Home of the “Test Flights”!
