[QUOTE="Whisperstream, post: 154632, member: 8463"] The headline should have read "One of only four remaining YF-117As returns to Edwards." At least they included my fact sheet. In an interesting bit of trivia, this airplane is the one featured in the first fuzzy declassified photo released by the Department of Defense in November 1988. With the exception of a few flyable examples that have been seen over the Nevada ranges in recent years, most of the production F-117A airframes are stored at Tonopah Test Range. The fifth YF-117A was broken up for scrap in a proof-of-concept exercise to demonstrate a technique that will likely be used on the other remaining airframes at some point in the future. [/QUOTE]
