The famed F-117 Nighthawk was returned to the Holloman Heritage Park on June 28, 2014, after a 4-month restoration project. After being exposed to the elements since 2008, the aircraft was in need of repair. The 49th Maintenance Squadron returned the aircraft to the condition it was in during its stay at Holloman. The aircraft was painted to represent aircraft 793 which dropped the first bombs in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The aircraft is actually Scorpion 3, which is one of the original Senior Trend aircraft and was used to reveal the Stealth's existence to officials in December 1983 when the program was still top secret. The restored F-117, shown here, made its debut at the Holloman Open House in May 2014. (U.S. Air Force photo by Mr. Arlan Ponder)
