Word form different reliable sources put departure time 1:30pm, latest 2:00pm.  No mention of any fly-bys  :'(   Ceremony times posted earlier.  This will be, at least for most of us, the last time we well see a F-117A Stealth in the air.  We will have to go to museums after that.  Look fwd to seeing Kevin and Brian out there if we run into each other.  Good luck.

Killer photo set Damon 8) The time spent driving and waiting in the desert were well worth it. Wish I could have gone. Dam work >:D I will miss this aircraft a lot. Too bad the Air Force did not have an airshow retirement ceremony at Nellis :'(
