79-10783 / ED (cn A.4008) This front view of the F-117 resembles me the Las Vegas Luxor Hotel, the black pyramid where I had spent the previous night … :-) |

79-10784 / ED (cn A.4009) This Stealth Fighter is used for flight testing and you may note a small orange pod close to the left main gear, which purpose is unknown to me and which might compromise the Stealth abilities of this jet. This F-117 is operated by the 412th Test Wing, 410th FTS, based at Palmdale, the famous Skunk Works. |

79-10783 / ED (cn A.4008) Please look closely, this is the 'Gray Dragon', the one and only gray painted F-117 during a test flight at Palmdale, where it has been based. According to an USAF website article this test aircraft has recently been retired. |

79-10782 / ED (cn A.4007) How happy everybody was to see this beautifully painted Stealth during this amazing display. And it was a once in a lifetime experience, since this fully hand made prototype was wearing this scheme for the 2nd and last time of its career, after the Edwards show it has been transferred from Palmdale to Holloman and will be used as a ground test bed only in the future. This aircraft suffered also a landing accident back in Jan 82, when it recovered onto a bed of foam, following the loss of the nosewheel. |

79-10783 / ED (cn A.4008) Not much doubt about what the 'Stealth Fighter' was designed to do! This 412th Test Wing YF-117A was the fourth example built. |

79-10784 / ED (cn A.4009) A rarely seen 'ED' tailcoded Nighthawk of the 412th Test Wing, 410th FTS, based at Palmdale, the famous Skunk Works (see insignia). The test aircrafts often use the Precision Impact Test Range at Edwards AFB to test new weapons, like the JDAM GPS guided bombs. This work will ensure the Nighthawk far greater flexibility for future deployments. |
