Went to an early access preview of the F-117 Nighthawk display at the Palm Springs Air Museum. The plan had just been received and they hadn’t started restoring it yet. So it’s shown with all or the RAM(Radar Absorbing material) removed along with the engines and some other vital components. The plane was an active participant in Desert Storm and other conflicts. Due to the secrecy of the technology and the plane Lockheed Martin and the Military wouldn’t allow for it to be decommissioned with the full technology that it had in production. The plane was impressive to see up close and in person, even in the drab gray and missing some of the bumpers around it. The engineer that spoke during the presentation was also interesting and told some good stories about his experiences with developing the plane along with stories from some of the pilots that flew the plane into battle.
