Aircraft Built at Palmdale Plant 42

There is no F-117. It was removed soon after it was put on display, years ago. It will be in the new museum at Edwards AFB in 2022.

Plenty of good parking, safe area with security at hand, plenty of trees and benches for a quick picnic, gates to let your kids run around. Go around the building to see more, including a gift shop!
