Edwards AFB Airshow 23 October 1993 Flying F-117s
Can anyone confirm the flying F-117s at this show? I always had 79-10782, 79-10783 and 85-0831 down. A couple taxied onto the crowd side which were read off but I think one went to the far side flight line. The one in question is '782. BARG have the three aforementioned serials as on the flight line, but Scramble have 783/784 and 831 as "operational" and 782 as "elsewhere". MTIA, Bob

Bob my pictures show 783 on the flightplan in front of the public, parked on the right side. I didn't for some reason take a picture of the left one, but that must be 831.
Other pictures show 3 in the break, but serials not readable.
Last but not least I have a ( low quality) picture of 2, showing 782 in the lead and the other most likely 783.
So 782/783 + 831 confirmed. It's long ago, but I don't remember a 4th 117 anywhere.
Question from my side, do you have a log of Mojave from that day? Mil only for me.
Regards Pieter,

Pieter, then that confirms what BARG had then. Many thanks. I was just double checking my logs where I did not read things off over the years and noticed that Scramble had all four down. The unit did have four at the time from official records hence the question. As for Mojave I do have a log and will contact you off list. Bob

Just to muddy the waters, the three flying F-117's came from Palmdale where I noted them on the way to Edwards show. I would have to agree with Scramble that they were 783/784 and 831.

See the pictures, yes blurry but readable i think. Original is in one shot, separated them and made a bit bigger.

Definitely looks like 782 and 783 to me.

No doubt about it 783 first shot and 782 second.
