The F-117 above was moved to Edwards for refurbishment and for future display at the Flight Test museum.  Disappoiinting, but frankly a better place than rotting in the sun in Palmdale.

Well worth the visit if in the area.

The museum folks have always been friendly to me and are usually willing to let you go over the ropes crawl under the aircraft if you ask.
