NEWSPhotos: F-117 Nighthawk #833 on display at the Palm Springs Air Museum Andy AbeytaPalm Springs Desert SunF-117 Nighthawk #833, nicknamed “Black Devil” is seen stripped of its paint and certain other stealth technologies still considered as protected information as it is restored for display at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022. “The air museum is honored to have been selected by the United States Air Force to receive this aircraft,” said operations manager Greg Kenny. “Very few of them are being released to the public for display and the fact that we were chosen is a big distinction for us. We’re going to take on the responsibility of interpreting the aircraft with the hangar and all the related exhibits — everything from of course its secret development with the Lockheed Skunkworks and then its involvement in Desert Storm and ongoing conflicts related to the war on terror. We’re honored to have it, we’re excited to tell its story.”Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunDocent Regina Ray gives a review presentation to other museum workers about the various technologies onboard the F-117 Nighthawk before more guests arrive at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA cockpit from a F-117 Nighthawk is seen on display at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunThe inside of the bomb bay doors show the “Black Devil” nickname for F-117 Nighthawk #833 as well as pilot signatures who flew the aircraft before it was brought to the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunDocent Regina Ray gives museum workers a tour of the F-117 Nighthawk in its hangar at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunAn entrance to the F-117 Nighthawk’s hangar is seen at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunDocent Regina Ray gives a review presentation to other museum workers about the various technologies onboard the F-117 Nighthawk before more guests arrive at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA F-117 canopy is seen on display alongside the full aircraft at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA model F-117 is seen on display in the hangar with aircraft #833 at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunVarious patches associated with the history of the F-117 are seen on display in aircraft #833’s hangar at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunThe cockpit to F-117 Nighthawk #833 is seen open in its hangar at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA P-63 named “Pretty Polly” is seen on the ramp preparing for a flight at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA Boeing B-17 nicknamed “Miss Angela” is seen on display at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunGuests walk among a variety of the aircraft parked outside of their hangars at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA P-51 Mustang named “Bunny” is seen on the ramp before a flight at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA Grumman C-1 Trader plane used for transport by the United States Navy is seen parked at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunOne of the Palm Springs Air Museum hangars is seen with a number of planes outside for an event in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA North American Aviation T-28 Trojan departs the Palm Springs Air Museum to pass onto the Palm Springs International Airport tarmac for a passenger flight in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA number of signatures are seen on the side of a California Air Guard plane at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina, a patrol bomber developed for the United States Navy in the 1930s, is seen parked at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina nicknamed “Harriet’s Chariot” is seen on display at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA P-51 gets ready for a passenger flight from the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert SunA P-63 named “Pretty Polly” is seen on the ramp preparing for a flight at the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Saturday, April 2, 2022.Andy Abeyta/The Desert Sun
