PETE'S DRAGON II, DRAGON TEST TEAM When (in July of 1982) pilot Pete Barnes was scheduled for his first flight in the still-secret stealth fighter, he found that the plane had a green dragon painted on the side. The inspiration for the design came from the Disney film Pete's Dragon, which was about a green dragon named Elliot who was invisible to everyone except a boy named Pete. A few years later, Pete Barnes took control of an upgraded stealth fighter, commemorated by the patch shown here. Pete's Dragon eventually morphed into the "Dragon Test Team."
