A total of 59 F-117A stealth aircraft were built between 1981 and 1990. This is the second, specially modified for systems testing by AFSC at Edwards AFB. In September 1985 the left tail fin broke away while the aircraft was pulling up during a weapons test, but the pilot was able to land safely earning him a DFC. The Air Force retired it to the museum in 1991 after the test program was completed. During Operation Desert Storm, the F-117As flew 1,271 sorties, achieving an 80% mission success rate and suffered no losses or battle damage

Unknown photographer - no photo info. Built by Canadair and TOC by the RCAF on 01 May 1962. Based at Marville, France in 1965 and Lahr, West Germany in 1968. Crashed on 06 Nov 1969 while flying with 441 Squadron. Struck a 600 foot ridge near Leyrieu in France during a low level training mission. Pilot killed. The aircraft photo shows RCAF titles so probably shot in 1968 or earlier before the change of titles to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Location could possibly be Marville in France but no proof of this.
