Air Drops AD514 / SE507: F-117 Nighthawk

The Black Jet, the Asset, Shabah. Whatever you call it, the F-117 is an icon; and an aircraft that started a revolution. There is none like it.

We are honored to release Air Drops cut from the mid-section/weapons bay of 80-0785; the very first production F-117 built following the 5 YF-117s known as Scorpion 1-5.

785 (alt. 79-0785) has a unique history as it was involved in a mishap on its maiden flight at Groom Lake on 20 April 1982. A post-mishap investigation discovered faulty flight control wiring. The aircraft was written off but portions of it were used to create the "785" static display F-117 that stands outside Skunk Works in Palmdale, CA.

Prior to being scrapped, the mid-section/weapons bay of 785 was used as a training aide and a test fixture. We acquired the fuselage in 2024 from a scrap/boneyard. It has been torched nearly in half and completely stripped of all coatings.

Air Drops AD514 / SE507:

4 variants of Air Drops cut from the same components we used for JETs Vol. 25-31 are available. They are named based on the card (by James Martin) they are housed in: Black (titanium fuselage panels), Green (green aluminum fuselage panels), Orange (Part no. 20F61-75/Weapons Bay), and a special edition SE507 was cut from a structural test fixture located in the weapons bay.

A Full Set is also available that comes with all 4.

There are no returns on Air Drops.
