The geek in me wonders what reg number 'FG' was.....

The F117 was not a secret by the time of Red Flag 1990, it had been publicly revealed in late 88, and photos had been published of aircraft flying over Nevada in 1989. It did make it's first public appearance at an Airshow just after Red Flag 90

Later on in the Facebook thread it states the airframe as being ZA474. Presumably the zap was long lost/painted over by the time of its scrapping?
