How happy everybody was to see this beautifully painted Stealth during this amazing display. And it was a once in a lifetime experience, since this fully hand made prototype was wearing this scheme for the 2nd and last time of its career, after the Edwards show it has been transferred from Palmdale to Holloman and will be used as a ground test bed only in the future. This aircraft suffered also a landing accident back in Jan 82, when it recovered onto a bed of foam, following the loss of the nosewheel.

On the 2nd day of the Edwards show this beautifully painted Stealth Fighter made a fly-by with the gear down. Wearing the amazing Stars and Stripes scheme for the 2nd and last time of its career, after the Edwards show it was transferred from Palmdale to Holloman AFB for static display.
