huh?

I don't realy get your question.. I think you meant to ask:
   Can my USB flash stick used to capture Wifi packets.?

Well Yes and No.
Yes you can store the PCAP files you got though some wifi interface on a flash stick.
No there is no Wifi tuner, controller & antenna in a usb flash stick.

A flash stick is nothing more then a large capacity EEPROM, so it can only store data  & reproduce the stored data.

Here is an up to date list of tools:

To capture frames the network adapters need to be capable of either RAW mode receive or promiscuous mode.
(Kismet should have a lot to tell about this as it has some history on this subject).
