Photo Comment

The F-117 was the world's first operational stealth aircraft. Between 1981 and 2008, Lockheed Martin produced 59 operational F-117s and five developmental prototypes, yet the type wasn't publicly acknowledged until 1988. Unexpected Guest is on permanent loan to the Reagan Foundation from the National Museum of the USAF and went on public display at the Reagan Library in December 2019.
