oh my god we’re getting a nighthawk.
A Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter is joining the National Air and Space Museum collection. The F-117 is the world’s first true operational stealth combat aircraft.
Transferred from the U.S. Air Force and prepared for public display by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, our F-117 will make its debut at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in late October. Learn more: s.si.edu/4yAERA4
ALT A stealth aircraft, identified as the F-117 Nighthawk, is positioned inside a spacious hangar. The aircraft has a distinct angular design, and the hangar features a high, curved ceiling with industrial lighting. Various equipment and tools are visible along the hangar walls.
