The "de multe nocte noli :rogare" is, approximately, "Don't ask what we do late at night" and :"classis caece" is "invisible or secret military group or fleet", :which may be "stealth squadron". : :So I'm going with the 49th at Holloman AFB. Probably right. I never paid attention to what was on it, but I could swear that at least one F-117 squadron has the triangular patches. I happened to spend some time sitting in a large room where there were also some green bags from a stealth squadron. The Navy also uses at least some triangular patches, by the way.
