Forty years ago today, one of the coolest jets of the modern era first took to the skies. Another product from the incredible Skunk Works, the F-117A Nighthawk. What a jet @LockheedMartin

Eating lunch under this beauty today
Fun fact: This aircraft actually has 2 left wings
I guess they had a spare one and thought it would be easier to flip it over and attach it to the right side when rebuilding it

On the 40th anniversary of the first flight of the F-117 Stealth Fighter be sure to check out @jamie_aviacom’s Twitter feed today for some absolutely incredible photos and history of this wonderful and still secretive aircraft #AvGeek #RadioGeek #MilMonWorld #nighthawk40
As the sun sets, the Nighthawks emerge. 9th Fighter Squadron 'Iron Knights'. Holloman saw the F-117s operating from a 'canyon' of hangars similar to Tonopah, their original home. #nighthawk40
My pic of a F-117 with a P-3 at NAS Whidbey Island, 2002. #nighthawk40
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — you decide which is which. We ran this shot as a gatefold spread in Aircraft Illustrated and it combines a 'Silver Lobos' F-4F from the Luftwaffe training unit with an F-117 and T-38A, all from @HollomanAFB #nighthawk40
The F-117 housed its laser-guided (and later GPS-guided) bombs in an internal bay. The pilot would designate a target, the bay doors would snap open, and the Nighthawk would deliver its lethal punch, before the doors closed again and the silent assassin slipped away. #nighthawk40
Stealth driver. An F-117 pilot peeks at me as he taxies out at Holloman as if he's thinking "should that guy be out here taking photos?" His helmet has a bracket attached to affix night vision goggles once the dusk turns to night. #nighthawk40
Airborne near White Sands, a pair of 49th FW F-117s from @HollomanAFB shot from a T-38 chase. Seeing these jets up close in the air, considering how they initially operated in total secrecy, was one of the most incredible experiences of my aviation career. #nighthawk40
Immaculately turned out F-117 of the 8th Fighter Squadron 'Black Sheep'. The radar absorbant material (RAM) coating was a big factor in reducing the radar cross-section of the F-117, which was said to be the equivalent of a small bird. #nighthawk40
I can still remember how excited I was to photograph F-117s taxying out @HollomanAFB in golden light for their evening missions. Oh to see it again... #nighthawk40

"We've got something a bit special, that you'll be the first person to see," teased my escort @HollomanAFB in 2003... And woah was he right! Behold the Gray Dragon, assigned to the 53rd TEG Det 1. #nighthawk40
The etherial sight of a Nighthawk in its hangar at night, prepped and ready for the pilot to arrive. #nighthawk40
