F-117A Nighthawk Arrives At Stafford Air & Space Museum
On July 11th, 2024, another Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk found its way to an aviation museum when F-117A USAF #82-0819 Raven Beauty arrived at the Stafford Air & Space Museum in Weatherford, Oklahoma. If there was ever a museum that was deserving of an F-117 it is the Stafford Air & Space Museum, which is named in honor of Weatherford native and legendary test pilot and astronaut, Lt. General Thomas P. Stafford, the man who wrote the specs and established the program that led to the development of the F-117 Stealth Fighter, and later, the B-2 Stealth Bomber. The museum stated it required “eight years of preparation” to bring the fighter to Weatherford, which sits along Route 66. Officials posted several photos and videos of Raven Beauty as it was being hauled down Weatherford streets to its final destination.
