The Palm Springs Air Museum is launching a series of 6 limited events for the public to view this incredible aircraft up close and personal with an experienced interpreter as a guide for the evening.

Each experience lasts 90 minutes and will feature a different Skunk Works Expert or F-117 pilot to interpret the airplane, and will include a different Limited Edition T-Shirt for each event, and a chance to look inside the cockpit for each session.
