Nighthawks at Miramarโ€ฆ

 

A screenshot of the video posted by Airshowstuff (and taken by @winston.dc) showing the touchdown of one of the two F-117s on Oct. 20, 2020.

on Tuesday Oct. 20, 2020, two F-117 Nighthawk stealth jets made a surprise visit to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, landing at the base outside San Diego at around 17.30LT.

 

While the reason for the visit is unknown, whatโ€™s certain is that the aircraft did not perform an emergency diversion: the audio obtained by The War Zone clearly proves the F-117s were not emergency traffic (otherwise they would have stated their status on their first radio call to Miramar Tower) nor did they perform any precautionary pattern. They simply followed the standard VFR recovery, reporting the Initial Point for the visual pattern.

 

Hereโ€™s a video, showing the touchdown of one of the two stealth aircraft that was just posted by Airshowstuff on their Instagram account.
