Very cool Brian!!
Anthony and I dropped in here last Friday - nice little museum, could do without all the posts, though...

Blackbird Air Park and Joe Davies Heritage Airpark at Palmdale Plant 42 located at 2001 E. Avenue P between 20th Street East and 25th Street East on the north side of Avenue P in Palmdale.
They are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 11am to 4 pm. Closed on holidays.

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.

Thanks guys for the heads up. I will have to check it out one day.

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.

Here is one of my favorites so far, this was taken early on with my old camera though =\ Gotta go back soon.
Sorry for the obnoxious size, only link to it I have right now is through Facebook....
