Full Scale Development (FSD) F-117A Nighthawk number four was this 79-10783. It was assigned to the 410th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards AFB (CA) for further tests. The aircraft made its first flight on 7 July 1982 and became the Radar Cross Section workhorse of the five FSD aircraft built. Before it was based at Edwards, it flew with the 4450th up to 1992, then it was handed over to the 410th, at least up to 2007 before it was retired.

Full Scale Development (FSD) F-117A Nighthawk number four was this 79-10783. It was assigned to the 410th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards AFB (CA) for further tests. The aircraft made its first flight on 7 July 1982 and became the Radar Cross Section workhorse of the five FSD aircraft built. Before it was based at Edwards, it flew with the 4450th up to 1992, then it was handed over to the 410th, at least up to 2007 before it was retired.

Prototype F-15E Strike Eagle that was converted from a F-15B which it turn had been built as TF-15A. 71-0291 continued as a test aircraft into the 1990s, under Boeing's control towards the end. Became an instructional airframe and eventually ended up in Saudi Arabia in the air force museum, Riyadh.

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.

Supporting the Edwards test flight aircraft was this temporary deployed 319th Bomb Wing/ 905th Air Refueling Squadron KC-135A, originating from Grand Forks (ND). The 905th ARS was supporting some 6512nd TS B-1B activities from Edwards. The 319th converted from B-52 to B-1B in the 1986-1987 timeframe and a lot of new-weapons tests were carried out by the 6512 TS B-1Bs. As the 905th became very experienced with B-1B aerial refueling, it was logical to deploy one of their Lancers to Edwards that lacked KC-135As in their fleet.

Rarely photographed were the F-111 Aardvarks of the 6512 TS. Lucky me :-). Two airframes were, among other things, used for development tests of low-flying earth-following systems that eventually were used in for example cruise missiles as well as with inert navigation systems for tactial fighter jets.
