Final F-117A Leaves Palmdale
Just after 10:00 am today, the last F-117A, aircraft #831, took off from Palmdale's Runway 25 three days ahead of schedule. After a couple of low passes over Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, 831 left the Antelope Valley for the last time, enroute to Tonopah, Nevada, and its place in history as the last Nighthawk to fly. May she rest in peace.

I'm passionate about documenting and preserving the events of today which will be seen as the history of tomorrow, so that those who come after us can better understand why things are the way they are.
