The fourth Full Scale Development F-117, "Scorpion Four" tail-number 783, first flew on July 7th, 1982 and is still operated today by the 410th Flight Test Squadron at the Lockheed Skunkworks in Palmdale, California. This particular aircraft was on display at the Edwards AFB Open House in 1999. Designed and developed by Lockheed, the F-117 was the first operational aircraft conceived with stealth technology. It first flew on June 18, 1981, but was not officially acknowledged until 1988, when the Pentagon released a grainy, unrevealing photograph to the media (the aircraft itself was not seen by the public until 1990). With no afterburners and a shape designed to deflect radar signals, the F-117 is subsonic but effective. It has an automated planning system, sophisticated navigation and infrared target acquisition. It has been used several times in combat, most notably during the Persian Gulf War. It was retired in 2008, replaced by the more formidable F-22. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
