Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works subsidiary is performing restoration work on an F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft that will be on permanent display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

The exhibit will be the result of a collaboration between Lockheed and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, the company said Thursday. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Dec. 7 at the Reagan National Defense Forum.

Originally manufactured by Skunk Works, the future F-117 display’s “Unexpected Guest” nickname refers to its secret manufacturing history and operational stealth features.

“Lockheed Martin is proud to partner with the Air Force and the Reagan Foundation to install a permanent symbol of American innovation at the Reagan Library for all to see,” said Michele Evans, executive vice president at Lockheed Martin’s aeronautics business.
